In brief, about Pixies
Pixies is a rock band that formed in 1986 and released their first album, Surfer Rosa, in 1988. Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal, and David Lovering formed the original lineup, and their debut album, which received positive reviews and became a college hit in the US and UK, catapulted them to fame.
Pixies initially planned to embark on a tour in 2021. However, due to the current surge in Covid cases caused by the Delta variant, the group had to cancel their September tour in the United States. The canceled dates included performances at Summerfest in Milwaukee and Riotfest in Chicago.
Earlier this month, the alt-rock legends participated in NME's 'Does Rock 'N' Roll Kill Braincells?!’ challenge, in which veteran musicians were quizzed about their careers in the music industry. During the challenge, frontman Black Francis and drummer David Lovering also talked about their upcoming album, their past releases, and more.
Prior to Doggerel, the group had last released an album in 2019, titled Beneath the Eyrie.
