NO album news: Frank's not doing a Pixies album

Frank Black has told Uncut that there will never be another Pixies album, of new material anyway.

The singer said:

"I wish it could go a bit further again and we could make a record. Not all of the band-members are willing to do that. Rather than make a big deal out of it, we've agreed to just continue to play live. We definitely enjoy ourselves. There is a little camaraderie, a gang mentality that takes over when we're about to take the stage."

Black also told the magazine that he and Kim Deal still don't always see eye to eye, but that relations have obviously improved:

"Now, if we're on tour together, we hang out, we hug. We have some good conversations, I suppose."

He looks a bit like a cross between

Kevin Costner and Meat Loaf.

well the tours have been amaaaaaaazing

Fortunately their back catalogue always sounds quite fresh.

But they could sort of outstay their welcome if they carry on as a nostalgia act. I'm sure they'll know when to stop. Probably when there are no banks big enough to hold all their cash.
