“We should do a tour with David Bowie.”

“We can be his band. That’d be cool. We can be his backing band. We go out and do our set, he comes out to do his set with us and, you know. That’d be cool.”

– Frank Black of Pixies hypothetically teases the most inspired bit of backing band casting since Jimmy Fallon gave Questlove a call. The above isn’t entirely unfeasible: Bowie is a paid up Pixies fan, covering Surfer Rosa track ‘Cactus’ on his 2002 album Heathen, and enthusing about the band in 2002 documentary Gouge. Pixies have also recently opened up about their surprise at Kim Deal’s recent departure from the group. Plenty of Bowie news this morning, as it happens.
