Pixies have announce the departure of bassist Paz Lenchantin.
Lenchantin joined Pixies in 2014, replacing bassist Kim Shattuck. She subsequently appeared on three Pixies albums: 2016’s Head Carrier, 2019’s Beneath the Eyrie, and 2022’s Doggerel.
In a statement, Pixies said, “Lenchantin has exited the band to concentrate on her own projects. We are grateful for Paz’s contributions, and wish her all the best going forward.”
To replace, Lenchantin, Pixies have recruited Emma Richardson, formerly of UK rock group Band of Skulls. Richardson will make her debut when Pixies kick off their 2024 tour in Dublin, Ireland on March 8th.
Pixies have an extensive tour scheduled in 2024. In addition to their early spring run in the UK and Europe, they’ll embark on a co-headlining North American tour with Modest Mouse starting in late May, and they’ll open for Pearl Jam in Australia in November. Tickets to their upcoming tour dates are available here.
