This week we are going to talk about The Pixies. Are an american alternative rock band that formed in Boston Massachusetts in 1986. The group consists of Black Francis (vocals,rhythm guitar), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), Kim Deal (bass guitar, vocals) and David Lovering ( drums). While the Pixes found only modest sucess in their home country, they were significantly more sucessful in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, although never achieving prolonged mainstream sucess with their studio albums.The group disbanded in 1993 in acrimonious circumstances but reunited in 2004.
The band's style of music contains elements including indie rock and surf rock. Francis is the Pixies' primary songwriter and singer who has been noted for his yowling delivery. He has typically written about offbeat subjects, such as extraterrestrials, surrealism and Biblical violence.The group has been described as a big influence on the alternative rock boom of the 1990s, though they disbanded before reaping any of the benefits this might have brought them. Avowed fan Kurt Cobain's acknowledgement of the debt his band Nirvana owed to the Pixies, along with similar tributes by other alternative bands, helped the Pixies' legacy and popularity grow in the years following their break-up, leading to sold-out tours following their reunion in 2004. WE PERSONALLY LOVE THIS GROUP.
Although the Pixies produced relatively few albums, whose sales were modest, they had a significant influence on the alternative rock boom of the 1990s.
The best songs of this group are "Monkey gone to heaven", "Broken Face", "I Bleed", "Allison", "The sad Punk", "Alec Eifell", and "Where is my mind".
