Frank Black
Says Black “There is totally a narrative arc to my solo career. It sounds trite but in basic language this is what’s happening on these songs: it’s me breaking away from the Pixies and finding myself as a solo artist, finding a band again and forging that together, then losing it and my marriage, and finally getting my obsession with two-track recording out of my system. It’s a total arc.
No shows booked at the moment.
