ROAD TRIPPIN’
Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago lifts the curtain on the delights and dangers of partying on stage.
All right, here we go, the juicy stuff. You ready?
Yeah, just let me grab my douche flute.
For starters: Is it Pixies or the Pixies?
You don’t know the name of the band?
On all the album covers it’s “Pixies,” but people always put a “the” in front of it.
I just say “my band.”
Was anyone in the Pixies ever approached by Hair Club for Men about tweaking “Here Comes Your Man” and using it as the company theme song?
Never.
If you don’t mind, give it a try. Sing “Hair Club for Men...” instead of “Here comes your man...”
[Sings it] Hey, that’s kinda works.
Thanks for contributing this photo from your private collection. What are we looking at?
This is from when we played the Glastonbury Festival in England, summer of 1989.
And what’s going on here?
