So who is Black Francis? Well, replace Francis with Frank, switch the order of the words and think The Pixies. If you still don’t know, that’s O.K. just think of this as an educational experience. Black Francis played the Doug Fir Lounge on Monday and Tuesday of this past week. If you have been to the Doug Fir, you know how good of place it is to see a band; keep it like a secret. All we can say is the show was great and it made us want to buy the new album titled Bluefinger. Check out some pics of the show after the turn….
EPM in Tight Black Rubber Out!
The set opened with an acoustic selection of Pixies’ tunes
He replaced his acoustic guitar with an electric one and added …
a bass player …
and a drummer to continue the show (Is that Benji Galloway?)

A few songs into the electrified portion of the show, another singer, Violet Clarke, joined the band
Frank and the band rocked some more
Harmonica in mouth, Frank in classic form
Here’s the set list along with Frank’s foot
Thanks to Black Francis for a great evening of entertainment.
damn it, sucks that I missed that show. Thanks for the photos.
Pixies rules.
Nice shots Rich. I was just watching a Pixies concert on the tube last night. On a slightly related note (bald, hefty, intense former frontmen of hard, quirky, sometimes disturbing, but melodic seminal 80’s, blah, blah, blah), Bob Mould is coming up on the 14th. He puts on a real good show as well, and it’s at the Doug Fir. Bonus.
who was the band that opened for that show?
