Pixies frontman Frank Black has called film-makers Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin "na•ve", explaining that the band are unhappy with the way they are portrayed in Cantor and Galkin's tour documentary.
The film, loudQUIETloud, documents the band's 2004 reunion tour. It premiered on Tuesday at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.Speaking to The Guardian, Black said the film-makers "were naive, like a lot of people who don't understand how rock bands are when they go on tour." He went on to claim, "they'd roll into the hotel every morning and say, 'So what are you guys going to do today? Ooh, are you going to go buy some ice cream?' I guess they expected us to be like the Monkees, always up to mischief. But we're boring, you know."
Whilst Black said he had nothing against the film-makers themselves, he confirmed that bassist Kim Deal asked for, and succeeded in, getting several scenes cut. "It made her look like she was hardly there, clutching her beer and chain-smoking cigarettes" the singer said. "It made it look as if we had just scooped her out of the gutter.
