A legendary underground band that consists of Frank Black (vocals/guitar), Joey Santiago (guitar), Kim Deal (bass), and David Lovering (drums). They formed in Boston on 1986, and after releasing five albums on their label 4AD, they disbanded in 1993.
The Pixies are the most influential pioneers of the late '80s alt/rock movement, and effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom.
In 2004, The Pixies have reunited which is indeed, very good news for music.

Pixi is a cheerful, weird, but a little sad on the inside girl. While a little neurotic and hot headed, she is funny and a good (if not annoying) friend! She loves to talk and is also a cat lover. A slightly chubby girl, she loves caticorns drawing, and all thing fluffy! She has big dreams and her favorite pastime is playing videogames with her friends.
