Pixies have announced that Paz Lenchantin will be their new bassist, following the recent departure of Kim Shattuck.
Lenchantin, known to music fans following stints in A Perfect Circle and Zwan, will join the band for their headline slot at Field Day next summer, along with a growing list of festival appearances.
The news was broken via Pixies' website - check out what they had to say:
“Pixies’ 2013 - 2014 global tour schedule continues to escalate with a series of major South American and European festival performances now confirmed for next Spring and Summer. The band - Black Francis/vocals, guitar, Joey Santiago/guitar, backing vocals, and David Lovering/drums, backing vocals - will kick off the festival season in late March in South America with headline appearances at Lollapalooza Chile, Lollapalooza Argentina, and Lollapalooza Brazil, as well as Colombia’s Festival Estereo Picnic.
“Pixies will then head to Europe for a series of major festivals that begin May 30 when they headline the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain. Joining the Pixies as touring bassist for the North American, South American and European summer concerts will be Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle, Zwan, the Entrance Band). ‘We are really looking forward to playing with her on these dates,’ said Lovering. ‘Working with different bass players is very new for the band, but we’re having a great time doing it’."
On November 30, Shattuck confirmed her exit from the band in posts on Twitter and Facebook. She said: "Super disappointed to learn that my time with the Pixies ended today. Amazing experience. Looking forward to focusing my attention back on the Muffs and our upcoming new album. All the best to everyone."
