I knew I liked the Pixies, so I should have known that I’d like Frank Black, but for some reason I never bothered to find out if I would. That changed today.
At work I listen to internet radio stations. One of those stations is KEXP which is located here in Seattle. Today I had the opportunity to sit back and let Frank Black introduce me to Frank Black as he performed some songs in the KEXP studio. Frank Black in the lead man for the Pixies, which exists again. Apparently the band is planning on releasing another album, though there nothing is set down right now. Since the Pixies fell apart Black has continue his life in the form most common to the victims of big band breakups— a solo musician. 
Frank Black was a pleasure to listen to, his lyrics are great and his banter with the KEXP DJ (Kevin Cole) was almost as good. More than that though he seemed like a genuinely nice and interesting person.
Frank Black is playing tonight, right now actually (now being 8:30pm on a Monday), at the Showbox. Anyone lucky enough to be there is having an amazing experience I am sure. He’s been touring to support his new album Fast Man Raider Man.
If you have a decent internet connection and realplayer or windows media player (both of which I hate), you can listen to an archived stream of the studio performance on the KEXP website, I assume it will eventually be on the studio performances page as well. I suggest you go and do that now.
