One of the most influential bands in the history of indie rock, The Pixies, was deep-sixed for what seemed forever, then reunited in2004 for touring purposes, and then finally decided to bless the world with more of their recorded music.  As a part of the process, the band recently lost founding member Kim Deal to retirement and subsequently has worked through replacements for Ms. Deal.  Regardless, the band will at long last soon release its first proper new songs in 20 years when they release new records EP-1 and EP-2.  Watch below as the remaining original members join with new member in CBC’s Studio Q to perform a great new song, Andro Queen. Frank Black’s vocals on the song, while reminding at times of Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, remain quintessential Pixies, especially when coupled with Dave Lovering’s propelling drumming and Joey Santiago’s perfect guitar accompaniment.  She’s a beauty that Andro Queen.
