Pixies have revealed the video for "What Goes Boom", the latest track from their EP-1 release to be given a music video.
The video, which you can see below, features guitarist Joey Santiago and is set in the desert. It follows videos the band have made for the tracks "Indie Cindy" and "Andro Queen", which also feature on EP-1, released earlier this year.
Kim Deal is welcome to rejoin Pixies if she wants to, drummer Dave Lovering has told NME.
The band parted ways with Deal earlier this year and then replaced her with Kim Shattuck, who has previously played with The Muffs and The Pandoras. However, in a new interview with NME Lovering extends an olive branch to the bass player.
Pixies have released a brand new EP and video today (September 3).
The four-track EP, titled EP-1, was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales and was produced by Gil Norton, who also helmed previous Pixies releases Dolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990) and Trompe Le Monde (1991). Also released today is the first video from the EP, for the track "Indie Cindy", which you can watch below.
The trackslisting for 'EP-1' is as follows:
'Andro Queen'
'Another Toe In The Ocean'
'Indie Cindy'
'What Goes Boom'
Pixies have announced four UK and Ireland dates this November (2013) as part of the first leg of a "massive world tour".
They'll be joined on the tour by new bassist Kim Shattuck, who's previously played with The Muffs and The Pandoras. Original bass player Kim Deal confirmed she was leaving the band earlier this month (June).
The new Pixies line-up will play Dublin's Olympia on November 18, before crossing the Irish Sea for gigs at Manchester Apollo on November 21, Glasgow's Barrowland on November 22 and London's Hammersmith Apollo on November 24.
Los Angeles quartet the Allah-Las have the most perfect of backstories for a group making such informed, articulate pop music. Three of the group’s members met while serving time at the legendary LA record store, Amoeba, one of the best ways to learn your craft and do your listening, all while getting paid to schlep CD cases and LP sleeves into the aisles and across the counter. They’ve been playing together since late 2008, slowly chipping away at a vision that’s equal parts genteel psychedelia, ’60s beat movement, and softly strummed, post-Byrdsian jangle-pop.
