Maynard James Keenan has been celebrating his 60th birthday all month with two of his bands — A Perfect Circle and Puscifer — along with Primus on the “Sessanta” tour. On Saturday night (April 20th) at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, fans were treated to all three of Keenan’s bands when Tool gave a surprise performance toward the end of the concert.
The tour usually has a no-video policy until the last song of the night, which is Puscifer’s “Grand Canyon,” but Keenan said from the stage that he would permit filming of the next song because he had “picked up some strays” to join him onstage. At that point, Tool’s Danny Carey, Adam Jones, and Justin Chancellor walked out to the delight of the fans.

The Pixies have parted ways with bassist Paz Lenchantin after a decade-long run with the band. They’ll be joined by former Band of Skulls bassist Emma Richardson when they kick off a European tour on March 8 in Dublin, Ireland.
The news of Lenchantin’s exit from the group came via a curiously dry statement from the group. “We’re grateful for Paz’s many contributions,” they wrote, “and wish her all the very best going forward.”

Pixies have announce the departure of bassist Paz Lenchantin.
Lenchantin joined Pixies in 2014, replacing bassist Kim Shattuck. She subsequently appeared on three Pixies albums: 2016’s Head Carrier, 2019’s Beneath the Eyrie, and 2022’s Doggerel.
In a statement, Pixies said, “Lenchantin has exited the band to concentrate on her own projects. We are grateful for Paz’s contributions, and wish her all the best going forward.”
Update: In a statement provided to Rolling Stone, Lenchantin said her “departure is a bit of a surprise to me as it is to many, but it looks like they have a solid plan figured out which in turn has pushed me to move onwards onto new projects that I am excited about.”
To replace, Lenchantin, Pixies have recruited Emma Richardson, formerly of UK rock group Band of Skulls. Richardson will make her debut when Pixies kick off their 2024 tour in Dublin, Ireland on March 8th.

Over three decades after famously alluding to Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí’s groundbreaking art film Un Chien Andalou on the raucous opening track to 1989’s Doolittle, Pixies have returned to their roots with the surrealist new single, “Dregs Of The Wine.”
Anchored by a rhythmic bass riff reminiscent of the band’s early output, “Dregs Of The Wine” marks the first writing credit for longtime guitarist Joey Santiago. “I guess I was in kind of a zombie state, just playing,” he said in a release, discussing how the song came to be.

End Of The Road is a festival that keeps its promises. The cultured leftfield shindig – where croquet tournaments break out in forest glades and peacocks roam the trimmed lawns of Dorset’s Larmer Tree Gardens, unbothered by the experimental folk, rock, rap and electronic tomfoolery floating across the site – has been promising a weekend headlined by indie giants Pixies and Bright Eyes since 2020. Covid scuppered that event, and post-pandemic travel issues forced the 2021 bill to become more UK-based. But this year, Eotr puts its music where its mouth is at last, with plenty more curveballs thrown in to keep this crowd of discerning alternative music fans pleasingly off-balance.
The opening Thursday night bill is a brain-rattling case in point. On the main Woods Stage, LA’s Sudan Archives sets out to invent jig-hop, interspersing psychosexual ambient raps with ruined snippets of Irish folk played on the fiddle she brandishes throughout.

This past winter, Pixies decamped to Guilford, Vermont to record their first new album in three years, Doggerel. While the album won’t be arriving until Sept. 30, fans can get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the record in a new short documentary.
The clip opens with frontman Black Francis offering one side of how the Doggerel sessions came about. “Fortunately my kids are old enough now that they’re not gonna burn the place down or anything, so I just said, ‘Guys, just leave me alone for a couple of weeks.

Pixies celebrate creativity in the desert in the visual for their new single “Hear Me Out.”
Directed by Maximilla Lukacs, the video depicts two cowboys creating art and finding beauty in the oft-considered barren landscape of the desert plains. In various scenes, we see them pondering over a typewriter, painting the sky at sunset, photographing the artist Petecia Le Fawnhawk and taking a nap on a Navajo blanket surrounded by film reels. Pixies bassist and vocalist Paz Lenchantin appears in the clip herself, wrapped in that same blanket. Overall, it’s a simple video,...
