I don't know, if they kicked her out for being a bit MAGA/right-wing, that's kind of a bummer.

not sure if it was just that, but she felt very off the last year or so.

I liked Paz but... could this be a Kim angle? Or is that Oasis-levels of unlikely at this point?

Kim coming back you mean?

nah, there is no chance of that happening. Im actually glad, i really like the last albums and Kim just didnt want to make new music.

Well that's a shame.

What a shitty situation. Paz fit the band so well.

Apparently Band Of Skulls bass player Emma Richardson is the new bassist.

Anyone?

I went through a huge band of skulls phase about 10 years ago. She will be a good fit i think

Of course, right-leaning Pixies fans are gonna accuse them of lying about her departure and say that it's shitty just to fire someone for being MAGA.

Instead of recognizing that they handled a toxic, destructive situation in a cordial manner.

And of course she's gonna open the door for a loony debate by saying she was fired.

They just as easily could have said "she's a fucking nut and it's making us crazy too". Like any of us who have to deal with MAGA friends and family.

And they probably just should have. As any liberal/democrat politician should have learned by now, it doesn't pay to be nice (or fair).

I know you are a little more conservative than many of us here but you have no idea what MAGA actually means here in the US. PSYCHOPATHS

It really is the political equivalent of the Manson Family.

I wonder what type of imagery and news bites even make it outside of the US.

People talking on camera about how we need another Hitler or a leader like Vladimir Putin would be a good start.

Or the cars completely covered in reactionary bumper stickers that we all drive past every day, with a cardboard cutout of Trump in the back seat.

But I'm sure it gets lost in the constant distractions and softened representations.
