Pixies Premiere 'Magdelena' Video

Hey, throw back the covers and get outta bed - The Pixies have just aired the music video for the song 'Magdelena'! Conceived and directed by Judy Jacob (for Everything is OK), who directed and edited some of the highly-stylistic films made for Pixies’ 2009-2011 “Doolittle” world tour, it strikes a different note from the other Pixies music videos for this project.

The provocative 'Magdelena' clip stars innovative British dance/theatre/performance artist Nando Messias, and is the second video from Pixies’ EP-2, released on January 3, and the song, as the band’s Black Francis put it, is “basically a blues-shape with a Beatles-esque left turn, and a lot of Pixies-referential lyrics."

Pixies are currently in the midst of the North American leg of their 2013-2014 world tour.  They head to South America at the end of March for a series of major festivals including performances at Lollapaloozas in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, and then return to Europe  for the summer festival circuit.
