About Pixies

The Pixies, hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, are an American alternative rock band that emerged in 1986 and have since become pioneers of the genre. Formed by Black Francis (vocals, rhythm guitar), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), Kim Deal (bass, vocals), and David Lovering (drums), the band's unique blend of punk rock's aggression and pop music's infectious melodies helped define the alternative rock sound of the 1990s. Their dynamic "loud-quiet-loud" song structures and eclectic influences, ranging from surf rock to punk, have left an indelible mark on the music world. The Pixies have released nine studio albums, with their latest, "The Night the Zombies Came," showcasing their enduring creativity and influence. Despite lineup changes, including the departure of Deal and the addition of Paz Lenchantin, the Pixies continue to tour and release new music, captivating audiences worldwide with their iconic sound.
