Frank Black, AKA Black Francis (but neither is his real name)
Legendary Pixies frontman Frank Black (or Black Francis, the moniker he's picked up again) will be storming down the West Coast, much to the delight of all you aging hipsters, alt-rock glory days rememberers/fabulists and young Doolittle-worshipping newbies. I, obviously, am nothing but a Doolittle-worshipping newbie, as I was about 5 when the album came out, but I do love that band and a lot of his solo stuff. The tour's in support of Black's latest release, Bluefinger, which came out yesterday on Cooking Vinyl. Thanks to Paste Magazine online news for the heads up.
