Our Take

The prolific and enigmatic Black Francis graces us with a live gem in Nijmegen, pressed on striking clear vinyl that's as crystal clear as his raw vocals. The Pixies frontman effortlessly captivates the audience with his raw, unfiltered energy, like a manic conductor leading a chaotic symphony.

From the moment he kicks off with the explosive "Um Chagga Lagga," you're transported into a frenzied whirlwind of pounding drums and screeching guitars. It's a sonic assault on the senses that leaves you breathless, yet craving for more.

Tracks like "All Over the World" and "Wave of Mutilation" showcase Francis' ability to seamlessly blend punk sensibilities with melodic hooks, creating a sound that's uniquely his own. His gravelly voice cuts through the air like a knife, delivering poignant lyrics that linger long after the music fades.

But it's on the haunting "Where Is My Mind?" where Francis truly shines, stripping down the song to its bare bones and exposing its raw emotional core. The audience hangs on his every word, transported to a place of pure vulnerability and raw honesty.

In the end, Black Francis' Live In Nijmegen is a testament to his enduring talent and unmatched stage presence. It's a must-have for any fan of alternative rock, a thrilling journey through the mind of a true musical genius.

About the artist

Black Francis

Stephen "Black Francis" Thompson, frontman of the legendary alternative rock band Pixies, is a paradox wrapped in an enigma, topped with a hearty dollop of whimsy. With his signature yowl and off-kilter songwriting, Black Francis has left an indelible mark on the music landscape since the late 80s. Hailing from sunny Los Angeles, Black Francis (born Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV – try saying that five times fast) burst onto the scene with Pixies' groundbreaking album "Surfer Rosa," which featured classics like "Bone Machine" and "Where Is My Mind?" His unorthodox approach to songwriting, blending surrealist imagery with raw emotional honesty, has earned him a legion of devoted fans and imitators. Despite Pixies' initial breakup in the early 90s, Black Francis continued to release solo albums under his own name and as Black Francis, showcasing his eclectic musical influences and penchant for experimentation. Whether he's crooning a melancholic ballad or unleashing a full-throttle punk rocker, Black Francis never fails to captivate audiences with his unique brand of musical alchemy. In recent years, Pixies have reunited and continued to tour, proving that Black Francis is a force to be reckoned with both in the studio and on stage. With his distinctive voice, enigmatic lyrics, and penchant for pushing boundaries, Black Francis remains a true iconoclast in the world of alternative rock. So grab your flannel shirt, crank up the volume, and let Black Francis take you on a sonic journey like no other.
