ORDER THE DVD NOW Watch the loudQUIETloud trailer (QuickTime) In the history of modern American music there are few bands like the Pixies. Theirs was an unparalleled musical path, influencing countless others despite modest financial success. In 1992, their chief songwriter and vocalist Black Francis announced his intention to quit via a blunt facsimile. That, it seemed, was that. But to the amazement of everyone, the Pixies reunited in 2004. loudQUIETloud is the story of this unforeseen plot twist -- a deeply compelling portrait of four band members and their difficult, tense and ultimately triumphant return. From the first rehearsal to the final bow nearly one year later, the press-shy Pixies granted unprecedented access to award-winning directors Steven Cantor & Matthew Galkin. Featuring classic Pixies songs in concert and rehearsal plus an original score by Daniel Lanois, loudQUIETloud is an insider's perspective on the band, their relationships with family, fans and each other, and the combustible dynamic when the four members come together on stage. "A subtle, sensitive record of a group of people struggling to figure out what they once achieved, what it meant, and how they might somehow start again." -Uncut "Far from a fluff piece documenting each members utter delight at being back together, this is a delicate study on what time does to relationships. As titles go, co-directors Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin couldn't have been more spot on. When they're not playing you will not find a more subdued, more distant band. You'd think watching a band have so little fun would be depressing but it's exactly the opposite. Watching Frank Black and Kim Deal have any kind of conversation is uplfting in itself. It may not be a TV out the window to your senses but it's still rock&roll. A rock doc gem that goes beyond the boundaries." -Clash "An enthralling film, and you certainly don't need to be a Pixies fan to get something out of it. It's part Some Kind of Monster and part Spinal Tap, but mostly it's a descendant of, and as good as, the really great fly-on-the-wall music docs like Pennebaker's Don't Look Back." -Stool Pigeon "Totally riveting" -Mojo ----- Order the DVD now.
