In the history of modern American music there have been few bands like the Pixies. An unparalleled musical path was charted, influencing countless others despite their own modest financial success. Then in 1992, just as it seemed the band were poised for fame, their chief songwriter and vocalist Black Francis announced his intention to quit the band via a blunt fax. That it seemed, was that.
Suddenly after a twelve year gap in 2004, the Pixies reunited and announced a series of shows that would become some of the fastest selling in music history. loudQUIETloud is the story of this unforeseen plot twist - a deeply compelling portrait of four band members and their difficult, tense and ultimately triumphant return.
loudQuietloud is out on DVD from 6 November 2006.
