Gigantic: The Story of Frank Black and the "Pixies" by John Mendelssohn
The Pixies were a shock to the system. Emerging from their first rehearsal held in a squalid Boston basement, they were soon the toast of the UK and Europe - the new saviours of rock 'n' roll. Forerunners of grunge and with a repertoire of seriously weird songs, they made a virtue out of eccentricity. Then, when mega-stardom threatened, Pixies' songwriter and singer, Charles Thompson a.k.a Black Francis ditched the band, re-christened himself Frank Black and insisted he hated the group - until deciding to reform it for a sell out tour in 2004. This definitive biography of the legendary group also examines how Charles Thompson's music forever changed the lives of Pixies fans.
John Mendelssohn has been writing on and off about music for years. He also writes for the stage, acts, directs, composes, arranges and designs.
