Black Francis Tickets - Frank Black is Back

With the Pixies, vocalist Black Francis stood out as one of indie rock's loudest, weirdest and sometimes scariest frontmen. There are few who sound as possessed as Charles Thompson—Francis' birth name—when he's rocking out on a stage. Even without the backing of the Pixies, though, he's a capable songwriter that makes adrenaline-soaked, bristling rock and roll. Buy concert tickets and hear it for yourself!

Black Francis Tickets - So who is Black Francis?

Charles Thompson IV was an integral member of the Pixies, helping found the group in 1986 and adopting the alter ego of Black Francis while in the band. After the band broke up, he took up the name of Frank Black, starting a solo career with a backing band known as the Catholics that saw modest cult success. Though he's released one solo album under the name of Black Francis, both names are used interchangeably.
