Inside The Pixies


Last night I watched this documentary which follows the Pixies on their 2004 reunion tour. The Pixies broke up in 1992 because of tension between members. This film is about where their lives are 12 years later and how they get along after going their separate ways. It was kind of sad to see a band who was moderately successful but hugely influential struggle to deal with each other and their own demons. The film is a candid look inside a band similar to Metallica's film Some Kind Of Monster but with less drama. 

You can see the film in its entirety until the end of this week online at pitchfork.tv. Click on "One Week Only" and then click on the Loud Quit Loud box.
