hey kids, loudQUIEloud is coming out on DVD on November 7, 2006.  It's being released by MVD Visual in the US and Navarre in Canada.  I watched it and it's tolerable.  Not the greatest thing ever but still it's the fucking pixies so it's naturally great.  It's like getting a bad blowjob, no matter how shitty it's still pretty cool.  Um... as long as no teeth are used... unless you're into that sort of thing.  Actually that's a bad analogy, bad blowjobs can be really bad, but you know what I mean.  I'm going to write a full review of it but in the meantime courtesy of brosxkowski.com, MVD visual, and Navarre you have the opportunity to win one of 10 free copies of the DVD.  Just shoot an email with "loudQUIETloud DVD contest" in the subject over to contest@broszkowski.com with your full name, full address, email, phone number, full date of birth and the answer to the following question:

Press Release:

 

loudQUIETloud

Available on DVD

November 7, 2006

Through MVD Visual

 

MVD Visual is pleased to announce the home viewing release of The Pixies - loudQUIETloud for North American distribution on DVD.

 loudQUIETloud is an intimate portrait of the band members and their difficult, tense and ultimately triumphant return as one of rock music's greatest bands.

 When college rock darlings the Pixies broke up in 1992 on the cusp of mainstream success, their fans were shocked and dismayed. When the Pixies reunited in 2004, those same fans and legions of new listeners were ecstatic and filled with high hopes. loudQUIETloud follows the rehearsals and the warm up shows for the full-fledged, sold out reunion tour. It also catalogs, in the cinema verite style of the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" and Bob Dylan's "Don't Look Back", the less glamorous side of the touring band lifestyle, getting as close to this enigmatic act as anyone is ever likely to get. Old wounds have not completely healed and the extreme pressure of the tour takes its toll on the band, but nevertheless, they deliver the goods onstage.

 loudQUIETloud captures the Pixies, their families and their fans in what seems to be a once in a lifetime chance at rock n roll redemption.
