Pixies Abandon All Plans For Future New Material

The Pixies have confirmed what most people have suspected for a long time; that they won’t be recording any new material.

As we reported last month Frank Black had attempted to write new material for a new Pixies album but scrapped the songs saying they were “kind of fakey.”

In a new interview he told Uncut: "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."

He added that the live arena was the place the band felt most comfortable and that it has helped his notoriously fraught relationship with Kim Deal: "We definitely enjoy ourselves. There is a little camaraderie, a gang mentality that takes over when we're about to take the stage."

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