Frank Black & The Catholics - Live At Melkweg Amsterdam 3/24/2001

Frank Black & the Catholics “Live At Melkweg", was recorded in the aftermath of the classic album, Dog in the Sand, which “plays as a true classicist rock 'n' roll album, without resorting to cliches or sounding reactionary." Reminiscent of “Exile on Main Street-era Stones and early Bowie . . . all the tracks share a rootsy feel, accented by Rich Gilbert's frequent use of a pedal steel guitar."

Frank Black & the Catholics represent “rock as large, expansive, and over-romanticized . . . as the western skies hanging over the rural-route honky-tonk dives whose atmosphere they so readily evoke."

-Pitchfork

In their usual high-energy fashion, Black and the band unapologetically tear through their expansive catalog, banging out with uncanny familiarity some of Black's greatest Pixies' tunes like “Mr. Grieves", “Monkey Gone to Heaven" and “Where is My Mind?"
