Pixies frontman Black Francis to conduct onstage Manchester interview


Pixies frontman Black Francis will conduct an onstage interview when the band saddle up in Manchester in November.

Pixes are due for a performance at the city’s Albert Hall venue on November 20th, and Francis will be quizzed by Manchester music oracle Dave Haslam on the night, when questions from the audience will be taken.

Black Francis and co. are in the UK for a series of small-scale shows, and are also booked for an appearance at the month-long iTunes Festival in London on September 25th.

The live commitments form a part of a spate of increased activity for the group, who are now nearly a decade into their initial reunion. Speaking to the New York Times recently, they confirmed the online release of the EP ‘EP-1‘ is likely to herald more new material in the near future. “If we’re going to keep touring like this, we need some kind of new story, a new life, something,” Francis remarked.
