Is this the truth behind Paz Lenchantin exiting the Pixies? | Frumess

Ariel Pink speaks more on Paz Lenchantin being “fired” by the Pixies. Is this what happened? If it is true, it is very upsetting to me. I doubt we will ever know the truth.

The Pixies are an American ⁠alternative rock⁠ band from ⁠Boston, Massachusetts⁠ formed in 1986 by ⁠Black Francis⁠ (vocals, rhythm guitar, songwriter), ⁠Joey Santiago⁠ (lead guitar), ⁠Kim Deal⁠ (bass, vocals) and ⁠David Lovering⁠ (drums). The pop sound influenced acts such as ⁠Nirvana⁠, ⁠Radiohead⁠, ⁠the Smashing Pumpkins⁠ and ⁠Weezer⁠.

The Pixies are associated with the 1990s ⁠alternative rock⁠ boom, and draw on elements including ⁠punk rock⁠ and ⁠surf rock⁠. Their music is known for dynamic "loud-quiet-loud" shifts and song structures. Francis is the primary songwriter; his often surreal lyrics cover offbeat subjects such as extraterrestrials, incest, and biblical violence.

The Pixies achieved modest popularity in the US but were more successful in Europe. Their popularity grew after their breakup, leading to a 2004 reunion and sold-out world tours. Deal left in 2013, and was replaced by ⁠Kim Shattuck⁠ as a touring bassist. She was replaced that year by ⁠Paz Lenchantin⁠, who became a full member in 2016. With Lenchantin, the Pixies recorded the albums ⁠Head Carrier⁠ (2016), ⁠Beneath the Eyrie⁠ (2019) and ⁠Doggerel⁠ (2022). Lenchantin departed in 2024, replaced by Emma Richardson, formerly of ⁠Band of Skulls⁠. The ninth Pixies album, The Night the Zombies Came, was released in October 2024.

Paz Lenchantin (born December 12, 1973) is an Argentine-American musician. She is best known as the bass guitarist and backing vocalist of the ⁠alternative rock⁠ band ⁠Pixies⁠. Lenchantin joined the band in 2014, following the departure of founding member ⁠Kim Deal⁠, and recorded three studio albums before leaving in 2024.

On 4 March 2024, the Pixies announced that Lenchantin had left "to concentrate on her own projects". In a statement to ⁠Rolling Stone⁠, Lenchantin said that the choice was not hers and that her "departure [was] a bit of a surprise to [her] as it is to many".

In a December 2020 interview, Ariel Pink intimated that he may never release another album due to contemporary social and political affairs, and wrote that he was "not thinking about making art at the moment." The next month, he traveled to ⁠Washington D.C.⁠ and attended the ⁠Donald Trump⁠ rally that preceded the ⁠storming of the Capitol⁠. Many publications, including ⁠New York Magazine⁠, ⁠Spin⁠, ⁠Vice⁠, & others incorrectly reported that he was part of the group who stormed the Capitol.

Ariel Pink stated that he had attended the rally to "peacefully show his support for President Trump", and that after watching the president speak, he immediately returned to his hotel. Pink subsequently appeared on the ⁠Fox News⁠ program ⁠Tucker Carlson Tonight⁠, where he declared that the lack of label support, combined with his inability to continue touring, had left him "pretty much [...] destitute and on the street."
