LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts) Even one extremely famous fan has encouraged the
Pixies to make new music together: 'Bono even asked... He's like, 'Please make a record!''
Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago said!
"We gotta plan to make something new," drummer David Lovering explained in a recent interview. Two decades after the release of their album Trompe Le Monde, the rock legends have fans who weren't even born the last time they released a record. "We're gonna wear out our welcome soon enough," Lovering said. Besides, even Bono is hassling them.
But things seem to be changing. When this tour is finished, suggested guitarist Joey Santiago, "it'll be time". "That talk about making a record will be in the forefront next because it'll be time, you know,' he said. 'It'll be time. We've definitely gelled as a unit and hopefully when we can all bury the hatchet - and we have - maybe we'll go in there and hope for the best."
The Pixies complete their Doolittle tour in Victoria, Canada on 5 May.
