Frank Black announced his “Teenager Of The Year” tour Jan 15 through Feb 6, and on Feb 1, Black and his band will perform at Brooklyn Steel.
Black made the announcement through Brooklyn Vegan, a NYC based music blog. Teenager Of The Year is Black’s second studio album and was released 30 years ago under 4AD records. The classic alternative rock album was released a year after Black’s former band, The Pixies split up.
Eric Drew Feldman, who had previously played Keyboard on one of the Pixies tours, co-produced the album. The album also features Joey Santiago on guitar, a founding member of The Pixies. Teenager was originally not well received by fans but is now considered one of the greatest alternative rock albums and made it onto Pitchfork’s top 100 albums of the 1990s.
College roommates, Santiago and Black formed The Pixies in 1986 after dropping out of The University Massachusetts Amherst. After a few years of conflict between the members, the band officially split in 1993. Before Teenager, Black released his first self-titled album in 1992. In 1997 he formed his band, Frank Black and The Catholics and the band recorded music throughout the early 2000’s.
The Teenager Of the Year tour will include Feldman, Lyle Workman and Nick Vincent who originally appeared on the album.
Tickets for the tour go on sale on July 19 and on Black’s Website here.
