Frank Black
Live Performance of 'Headache' by Frank Black on MTV
In 1994, Frank Black, known for his influential role as the frontman of the iconic band Pixies, was riding the wave of his solo career post-Pixies breakup. Just before this electrifying live recording of "Headache" on MTV, he released his self-titled debut solo album, 'Frank Black,' in 1993. This album marked a new chapter for him, showcasing a blend of alternative rock and raw introspection that fans had come to love. During this MTV appearance on Halloween, he brought his unique energy and quirky charm to the stage. It's interesting to note that this period was a time of exploration for Frank, as he experimented with his sound and identity, stepping out from the massive shadow of the Pixies. This live show not only highlighted his burgeoning solo career but also reinforced the loyal fan base that had followed him from his earlier days.
