La salida de Kim Shattuck de Pixies fue no solo inesperada para los ajenos a la banda sino también para la propia bajista.
Hablando con el New Musical Express ha expresado su extrañeza por como fue echada del grupo.
Me sorprendió. Todo había ido bien, las críticas eran todas buenas y los fans también estuvieron super guay con todo. Decían, “Nos encantas, ¡nueva Kim!”. Nos despedimos en el aeropuerto y a la mañana siguiente y me dijo, “La banda ha tomado la decisión de seguir adelante con otra bajista”. Quedé conmocionada…
Tengo la sensación de que es gente más introvertida que yo. Nadie habló de grandes problemas, al menos en alto. Hubo un concierto en el Mayan de Los Angeles donde me pasé de entusiasmo y salé al público y sé que a ellos no les emocionó. Cuando salí del escenario, el manager me dijo que no lo volviera a hacer. Y dije, “¿Por mi propia seguridad?” Y me dijo, “No, porque Pixies no hacen eso.”
Anteayer se confirmó que Paz Lenchantin es la sustituta de Shattuck para los conciertos que llevarán a cabo en 2014, entre los que se encuentran los Lollapalooza Argentina, Chile y Brasil, además del Primavera Sound barcelonés.

Kim Shattuck has discussed her exit from Pixies for the first time, revealing that she was told the news over the phone by the band’s manager.
Shattuck was relieved of her duties as bass player in the band in November after joining in the summer as replacement for founding member, Kim Deal. Speaking in this week’s NME, which is available digitally and on newsstands now, Shattuck reveals that she was not expecting to leave the band, having agreed verbally to tour with them into 2014.
«I was surprised. Everything had gone well, the reviews were all good and the fans were super-nice about everything. They were like, ‘We love you, New Kim!’,» she says. «We said goodbye at the airport and the following morning the manager called me and said: ‘The band has made the decision to go with another bass player.’ I was shocked.»
Speculating as to why she may have been replaced, Shattuck says: «I get the feeling they’re more introverted people than I am. Nobody really talked about deep issues, at least out loud. There was a show at the Mayan in Los Angeles where I got overly enthusiastic and jumped into the crowd, and I know they weren’t thrilled about that. When I got offstage the manager told me not to do that again. I said, ‘Really, for my own safety?’ And he said, ‘No, because the Pixies don’t do that.'»
However, Shattuck does not bear a grudge toward Frank Black and his band mates: «I would have preferred it if they told me face to face as a group, but they’re nice people. I’m still a fan of the Pixies!»
Earlier this week it was confirmed that Paz Lenchatin will replace Shattuck for Pixies live dates in 2014, including headline slots at Primavera and Field Day.

«Bonitas» palabras a Kurt Cobain por parte de Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes)
«Nice» words to Kurt Cobain by Chris Robinson (The Black Crowes)

Le preguntaron sobre unas antiguas declaraciones que hizo sobre Kurt Cobain y respondió lo siguiente:
«Dije eso porque toda la gente hablaba de él diciendo que era un yonki y que ÉL se voló la cabeza. Le estaban comparando con gente con las que no tenía comparación- él no es John Lennon. Él no puede llegar a ser comparado con John Lennon. Siento que él era un tío drogadicto que se voló los sesos. Escribió un par de canciones y álbumes exitosos y beneficiosos pero nada más.
Tengo 47 años de edad, así que cuando yo era un niño, Jim Morrison era para mí lo que sigue siendo hoy. No creo que Cobain sea eso.
Hay jóvenes siempre desposeídos. Lo que pasa con Nirvana es que han pasado ya 20 años, lo de a su alrededor no era por los álbumes o las canciones; era por la angustia y el drama. Yo realmente no creo que la música fuese el principal foco de la escena o de ese grupo, a medida que el tiempo ha pasado.
Está claro que tenía un don para escribir una canción pop. Se le podría llamar grunge o lo que sea, pero él podría escribir una buena canción pop. Podría haber sido sobre deprimentes, cosas oscuras, pero una buena canción pop es una buena canción pop «.

Chris Robinson discussed late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in a new interview with Songfacts. When interviewer Greg Prato mentioned that he remembered Robinson saying Kurt Cobain was a good songwriter on MTV in the early 90′s, Robinson responded:
“I said that because all people talked about was him blowing his brains out and being a junkie. They were comparing him to people that he didn’t have a comparison to – he’s not John Lennon. He doesn’t get to be compared to John Lennon. I feel he was a junkie guy that blew his brains out. He wrote a couple of albums’ worth of songs.
I’m 47 years old, so when I was a kid, Jim Morrison was still like this thing or whatever. I don’t think Cobain is like that.
There’s always disenfranchised youth. The thing about Nirvana is 20 years have gone by, and it wasn’t really ever about the music or the songs; it was about the angst and about the drama. I don’t really think music was the main focus of that scene or that group, as time’s gone on.
He obviously had a gift to write a pop song. You could call it grunge or whatever, but he could write a good pop song. It might have been about depressing, dark things, but a good pop song is a good pop song.”
