Page "Pixies" Paragraph 14

In early 1993, Francis announced in an interview to BBC Radio 5 that the band was finished and offered no explanation at the time, unbeknownst to the other members of the band.

He later called Santiago and subsequently notified Deal and Lovering via fax, in January 1993.

After the break-up, the four members embarked on separate projects.

Black Francis renamed himself Frank Black, and he released several solo albums, including a string of releases with Frank Black and the Catholics.

Deal returned to The Breeders, who scored a hit with " Cannonball " from that group's platinum-selling Last Splash in 1993, and released two more albums several years later.

She also formed and released one album with The Amps.

Santiago played lead guitar on multiple Frank Black albums, as well as on other artists ' albums.

He wrote theme music for the show Undeclared on Fox television and for Crime and Punishment in Suburbia.

He formed a band called The Martinis with his wife, Linda Mallari, who released an album in 2004.

Lovering went on to become a magician and made occasional appearances as " The Scientific Phenomenalist ", performing experiments on stage and occasionally opening for Frank Black and The Breeders.

Lovering continued to do some drumming, playing with the band Cracker, as well as on one of Tanya Donelly's solo albums, and on the Martinis ' song " Free ", which appeared on the Empire Records soundtrack.
