Not heard much by this band but have heard of their reputation, I am though currently enjoying Frank Black's first two solo albums on my portable mp3 player.

Excellent news! I think....
Will they come anywhere near recapturing the freshness and energy of their original sound?
What sort of state's Kim Deal going to be in?
Unlikely that they'll play Newcastle Riverside for a fiver a ticket though, ah happy days.
Guess I'll go and see them if they come anywhere near here, they were a class band and occupy a special place in the Zeep collective heart & record collection.

Good news indeed. I'd missed them on the closing night of the Aberdeen Venue in ooooh 1988 I think :o)
T in the Park might well be essential this year then.

Gary - if you want a Greatest Hits, get DEATH TO THE PIXIES. There's a version around with a second CD with live tracks, IIRC.
Studio albums:
SURFER ROSA / COME ON PILGRIM
(Usually now found in the two-album collection; Come On Pilgrim is very rare on its own.)
DOOLITTLE
BOSSANOVA
TROMPE LE MONDE
There's also LIVE AT THE BBC and a B-sides collection knocking around somewhere. Oh, and when you've listened to that, go download the p*sstake, MOTHERBANGER, from www.cookdandbombd.co.uk

There's a new "Best of" CD coming out this year, as well as a DVD with vids, live stuff and a documentary. I'm sure it's entirely co-incidence that this is all coming out at the same time as they re-form. ;)

NEWSFLASH!
From: http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=2082477
Pixies Tour Officially A Go
"The much-ballyhooed reunion of seminal alternative rock act the Pixies is getting off the ground. Beyond a previously announced May 1 appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., the group is now confirmed to open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers on June 15 at Paris' Parc Des Princes. The quartet has not played live together since disbanding in 1993.
Sources have confirmed to Billboard.com that dates are being booked, and guitarist/vocalist Frank Black's unofficial Web site reports that the Pixies will first embark on a North American warm-up tour that will lead up to the Coachella appearance. A full-scale tour will follow, encompassing both North America and summer European festivals."
your welcome
