It was under these conditions that four young musicians found one another in Boston, Massachusetts, and started a band called Pixies.\u003cbr\u003eDuring their initial seven-year career, Pixies would play some of Europe's most gigantic festivals, keep the press guessing, and cultivate a fervid international fan base hungry for more and more of their unique surf punk. The band worked fast, cranking out four albums at a breakneck pace, but ultimately pressures and personality clashes took their toll: Pixies broke up just as bands were singing their praises as rock 'n' roll innovators. For twelve years, a reunion seemed impossible, but a sudden announcement in 2004 proclaimed the unthinkable: Pixies were getting back together. Their extremely successful reunion tour finally gave the group something they'd always lacked in their homeland: proof that their bone-rattling music had left an indelible impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFool the World\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e tells Pixies' story in the words of those who lived it, from the band members to studio owners, from A\u0026amp;R executives, producers, and visual artists who worked with them to admirers of their music such as Bono, PJ Harvey, Beck, and Perry Farrell.
