Biography

The Pixies brand of manic, jagged and sparse alt-rock owes much to punk, but they retain their own unique flavour and continue to elicit a passionate following in spite of their relatively small output.

The band was formed in 1985 by fellow undergrad flatmates Joey Santiago (lead guitar) and Black Francis (born Charles Thompson IV) (vocals, lead guitar). They were joined by Kim Deal in 1985 after… Read more in Amazon's Pixies Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, February 23, 1999
By 
This review is from: Monkey Gone to Heaven (Audio CD)
This is a very worthy e.p. from the Pixies. If you are obsessed witht the album Doolittle and crave an additional 3 songs, then by all means, pick this up. Manta Ray has become a Pixies classic (although the BBC version is a tad better). Weird at My School is a fun little twisted punk song. The closer, Dancing the Manta Ray is truly bizarre. Based on a catchy guitar hook and Black Francis giving his deepest vocal performance of the time, it is an addictive song that you will want to play over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars glorious, January 20, 2000
This review is from: Monkey Gone to Heaven (Audio CD)
this is truly a glorious single. Manta Ray is one of the pixies most catchy tunes and one of their best songs. Weird is very bizarre and twisted when you listen to what he is saying in the lyrics. Dancing the Manta Ray has an addictive droning beat to it. One of the best pixies singles, pick it up!
