The Pixies
The Pixies were formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1986 by songwriter and guitarist Charles Thompson IV. Thompson assumed the name Black Francis and was joined by Joey Santiago (guitar), Kim Deal (bass) and David Loverling (drums). Combining jagged, roaring guitars and stop-start dynamics with melodic pop hooks, intertwining male-female harmonies and evocative, cryptic lyrics, the Pixies were one of the most influential American alternative rock bands of the late '80s.. Between 1987 and 1991 they released five albums and toured the United States and United Kingdom, making it to the top of the underground rock music scene. In 1992 they suddenly split, reportedly at the request of Thompson. He went on to a solo career as Frank Black, and Kim Deal had brief success with The Breeders in the early '90s. The Pixies' albums include Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990) and Trompe Le Monde (1991), and their songs include "Monkey Gone to Heaven," "Velouria" and "Here Comes Your Man."
