Yeah this quite off topic, but hey just curious. I just recently got into their music thanks to my world studies teacher who was a big fan of theres back in college. Does anyone here enjoy blasting "Debaser" or "Broken Face" just to name a few? Yeah this doesn't relate to long hair much, but I think I've become addicted to the song "Gigantic!" HHeellppp Me j/k!!! Feel free to praise The Pixes...(note this will be my last OT about rock music for a long time, since Long Hair is the permanent main topic discussed here.)
I like what I've heard of the pixies, and shall look up the other bands you mentioned. If you're a fellow grunge fan, heere's a few worth checking out if you have the time:
Mother Lovebone
Mudhoney
Screaming Trees
Kyuss
and the obvious ones:
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Audioslave
Queens of the Stoneage
Nirvana

Compare Wolfeyes to the other bands. See my point?
It's all good though, Wolfeyes is crazy cool!
Lol, you're right, although come to think of it lots of posting names here sound like bands :)

At the end of "Fight Club" they play "where is my mind" by the pixies, it's a pretty damn good song I'd say.
Did you know that Kurt Cobain was afraid that he'd be seen as a ripoff of them?
When I hear one of their songs I can help but laugh my ass of at their horrible vocal lines. I couldn't believe that they got so much airplay. I tell people that it sounds like someone is strangling a cat. Yeah, they really brought a new sort of "style" to the scene alright.
Even in Israel the hippy orthodox Jewish kids (not the blackcoats) would go wild when they heard the Pixies on the sound system.
