The Pixies will launch a three-week U.S. tour on May 26th in Portland, Oregon. Several dates will feature the band performing early and late shows, as well as making festival appearances.

Formed in Boston in 1986, the Pixies -- singer/guitarist Frank Black (formerly Black Francis), bassist Kim Deal, guitarist Joey Santiago and drummer David Lovering -- recorded five albums before disbanding in 1992. The band members spent a decade apart before reuniting to tour last year, when they received arguably more attention then they did in their heyday.

"It's been overwhelming," Black told Rolling Stone last year. "But, without sounding like a braggart, I knew it would be well received. The Pixies have always been met with a celebratory atmosphere at our gigs -- even our earlier ones."

During the reunion, the Pixies recorded and released their first new song in thirteen years, "Bam Thwok," sold only through iTunes. But plans for a full-length album have not been made.

"I think we're aware of the fact that the material would have to be creme de la crme," Black said. "We're not really in a rush to go there yet."

Black will release a new solo album, Honeycomb, on July 19th. The set features the singer-songwriter backed by country/soul veterans Spooner Oldham, Steve Cropper and David Hood.

More Pixies dates are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
