Pixies joins host Stephen Kallao

In 2019, the Pixies classic album Doolittle turned 30 years old, and the band stopped by World Cafe to play a song from Doolittle as well as music from what was then their latest album, Beneath the Eyrie. On the World Cafe, lead singer Black Francis shares stories about recording in upstate New York, a run-in he had with a deer, and listening to early Pixies demos from when the band was first starting out.
