Featuring world-renowned band, the Pixies, performing live in the intimate Paradise Club in Boston. This DVD comprises the second release in the Club Date series.
Advantages: Behind the scenes with one of the most influential bands in rock Disadvantages: Unless you're Spinal Tap, tours aren't a natural for a linear documentary
...My friends all know that I am capable of boring to an internationally representative level on the subject of the Pixies. A "most influential rock band of the last 25 years" here, a "staggering use of loud/soft quick/fast" dynamics" there. They emerged, almost fully formed, in 1987, recorded five (well, four and a half) seismically memorable albums, and then split in 1992 amidst acrimony; singer Black Francis informing the media before his bandmates, then tossing them a cursory fax afterwards. The band went their seperate ways with varying degrees of success, and if there was one sure thing in the music biz, it was that they would NEVER reform.
In 2004, they reformed.

...BACKGROUND
*********************
I came across the Pixies several years ago. My brother was a big fan, and once I pinched one of their CDs and listened to it. I found it really weird, but I started to love it.
I discovered them far later than their split up in 92... But anyway...
They release 4 albums:
-Surfer Rosa
-Doolittle
-Bossa Nova
-Trompe Le Monde
On top of that you have a couple of best of, live and B-sides albums. Then in May 2004, they released their first DVD.
LINE UP
************
The Pixies are:
Black Francis.............vocals / rhythm guitar
Kim Deal..................vocals / bass
Joey Santiago.............lead guitar
David Lovering............drums
Black Francis is also known as Frank Black. After the Pixies' split up, he changed his pseudo to Frank Black.
WHAT'S ON THE DVD?
****************************
Quite a lot...
