Biography

Pixies are a highly influential American alternative rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985. The band disbanded in 1993 in acrimonious circumstances but reunited in 2004. Charles Thompson IV (aka Frank Black aka Black Francis), Joey Santiago, Kim Deal, and Dave Lovering have been the band's continual members. Pixies found only modest success in their home country, but were significantly more successful in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe, although never achieving mainstream success with their studio albums.
