Sounds like they did:

In an e-mail to Rolling Stone, Lenchantin made clear the decision was not her own: “It has been a dream of dreams these past 10 years to have been accepted as a Pixie by the band and by fans and an honor to have contributed to the Pixies legacy. My departure is a bit of a surprise to me as it is to many, but it looks like they have a solid plan figured out which in turn has pushed me to move onwards onto new projects that I am excited about.”

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.

yeah, she was great and the band seemed very happy with her

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

Anyone?

*politically based

Not this loser again.

That would be rad.

It’s true:

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

She is cool? Never heard them

I’ll check them out

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

and you definitely dont want them in your bus and hotels touring around the country

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.

Don't listen to these hysterical lunatics, birds. They doth protest too much.
