Upon researching into the Pixies fanbase, I discovered a plathora of websites, forums and blogs dedictated to the The Pixies and the fans love of them, dedicating numerous hours of the day to discuss and share their love. This demonstrates that the fanbase of the Pixies feel they have made a personal connection to the band, displaying their emotions on these websites.
This screenshot is taken from the Pixies official facebook page, currently with 1,663,518 likes. From this page, one can access almost any information on the band as well as an insight into the behind the scenes of the band.
The screenshot to the right shows a fan made website about the Pixies. You can access anything from inside scoops to guitar tabs to a discography from this website, created by a suprisingly small group of diehard Pixies fans.
On the other hand, this screenshot is taken from a website made by a group of Pixies fans from France, displaying how the band have managed to send their name throughout the world, reaching these French fans enough to influence a website on the band.
NME have created a frequent blog on 'The Roots Of'...' many different bands, one of which was dedicated to the Pixies and their roots. The blog, professionally presented, follows the beginnings of the Pixies right through to present day.
NME also conducted a similar blog on Nirvana, who were very close and definitely influenced by the Pixies. This blog was suggested in relation to the Pixies blog, therefore suggesting a connection that fans may wish to make.
Finally, this is a screenshot from another fan made website in which they are also attempting to sell a book based on the Pixies, written by fans of the Pixies. They also created a visual history of the band that can be found on YouTube.
Above is a small selection of fan based videos from YouTube.
