You might know Black Francis as Frank Black, ¬Å“that one guy¬Â from The Pixies, 1/2 of Grand Duchy, Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV, or¬Â¦well¬Â¦the list goes on. The moniker of the hour isn't important; the man, his music, and his influence on the alternative/indie rock scene is. If you've never had the opportunity (or the dough) to see the Pixies, here's your chance to catch their legendary vocalist in a most intimate setting.

I know I just won the burlesque tickets but I would love, love, love to see Frank Black in concert. He does a great cover of Tom Waits’ Black Rider too.

:O that motherfucker is awesome at what he does, not only that but he sings so well in spanish too. This event would help me shove my boyfriend towards becoming a Pixies fan!!

I’ve never gotten the chance to see him or the Pixies and would love the chance to see him in a small theater show before i have to move away from Portland

This would be an awesome show. I saw the Pixies 6 or 7 years ago and it was in a big stadium so I was too far away to see anything. I would love to see Frank Black up close at a place like the Aladdin!
May 5, 2011 at 15:27
I’ve not had the opportunity to see Pixies and they tour very rarely. It would be a huge treat to see Black Francis at the Aladdin. Bonus, it’s walking distance from my house!

Frank Black saved my life twice.
May 5, 2011 at 15:43
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe this is happening! I so hope I win this will make mine and my dates day, week, month…

We named our puppy Black Francis. So there.

loudQUIETloud is one of my favorite “rockumentaries”. Really touching and frustrating and intimate.

I would love to surprise my boyfriend with these tickets! He brought me to the point of obsession with the Pixies. This would be the ideal date for a broke chick!
May 5, 2011 at 16:24
Would absolutely love these tickets. Black Francis, (Frank Black, The Pixies) makes up nearly half my music collection. Thanks to Pdxpipe for making me aware of the show!
May 5, 2011 at 17:07
Wow what an opportunity to take my bestest friend who still rocks the pixies sticker on her car to this…really. Please.
May 5, 2011 at 17:15

Pick me. I’ve got less than a month until I have a baby and I want to expose the baby to good music in utero.

my first chance to see an awesome show since moving to portland!!!
May 6, 2011 at 08:40
I love Frank Black! I sing some of his stuff myself and I love grooving to the Pixies!
May 6, 2011 at 09:08
I grew up in Boston, and now live in Portland, just like Black Francis! We massholes need to stick together in this town… all these friendly west-coasters make us jittery. Both of us will thank you if I win the tickets!
May 6, 2011 at 09:24
Frank Black rocks my world. I would love tickets!
May 6, 2011 at 10:32
I’ll show my boobies.
May 6, 2011 at 11:06
When the Pixies played the Fox Theatre in the early 1990s, I was there, but had to leave 30 minutes into the set (home emergency). I would REALLY love a second chance.
May 6, 2011 at 11:26
I love the Pixies and would love to see Francis alone.. awesome setting too! Pick me!
May 6, 2011 at 12:24
I wonder why he always dresses in black? And why do I never ever see bright colors on his back? Why does his appearance seem to have a somber tone? I need to know more about Frank Black!
May 6, 2011 at 12:45
My bf and I are obsessed with the pixies. He has had the worst work week ever and is super close to quitting his job. I am hoping these tickets would give him the amazing weekend he needs. Please let me have this chance to make his day :)

We are always taking our friends out around Portland to new venues… and though I know the Aladdin has been there a looong time, it has yet to come into our regular rotation. We haven’t been there before and what better night than this!! Black Francis is amazing and we LOVE the Pixies!! I know my husband would totally freak if we got to go!!
