Pixies release new single & Video “Catfish Kate” overnight

7 August 2019 The Rockpit

“Catfish Kate” is the first radio single From Pixie‘s upcoming album, Beneath The Eyrie.

The animated new music video ventures deep into the imagination of the band’s main lyricists Black Francis. The clip weaves the bizarre lyrical and visual tale of mountain woman Kate’s simple task to catch a fish for that night’s dinner, and what occurs that has her known forever after as “Catfish Kate.”

“Catfish Kate” follows on “Graveyard Hill,” the first track released from the upcoming album Beneath The Eyrie (BMG) produced by GRAMMY-nominated Tom Dalgety and recorded at Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, NY. The band’s “It’s a Pixies Podcast” is the 12-episode podcast that gives fans a real “fly-on-the-wall” look at the album’s recording process. Each episode has fans witnessing the interaction between vocalist/rhythm guitarist Black Francis, guitarist Joey Santiago, drummer David Lovering, bassist Paz Lenchantin and Dalgety, shining a light on how the songs evolved from a simple riff to what you’ll hear on the finish album.

Pixies are set to bring their mammoth world tour Come On Pilgrim…It’s Surfer Rosa to Australia next March, treating fans to the iconic EP & album in full, as well as new and old tracks from their extensive catalogue. Live Nation Pre-Sale starts today, with general ticket sales going live tomorrow at 1PM.
