NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Ten years after an acrimonious breakup, seminal alternative rock act the Pixies might reunite next year, Billboard.com reported.
Asked about insider buzz of a tour and a new studio album, the group's manager said, "I have received an offer for the Pixies to perform in April. That said, over the past 10 years, I have received dozens of offers for the Pixies."
The Pixies -- vocalist/guitarist Black Francis, vocalist/bassist Kim Deal, lead guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering -- released four albums and an EP over five years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, heavily influencing the alternative-rock boom that dominated the latter decade.
In 1993, two years after the release of the group's final album, "Trompe Le Monde," Francis issued a press release announcing the breakup of the Pixies.
He began a solo career, now nine albums strong, as Frank Black. Deal found post-Pixies success with the Breeders.
In July, Black told London radio station XFM that he still fantasized about reuniting his old band. "I do dream about the Pixies reunion, I do have to say," he said.
