* CreatorBacklash: ''Surfer Rosa'' carries an interesting example, as the backlash comes not from any particular member of the band, but rather, producer Music/{{Steve Albini}}, who called the album "A patchwork pinch loaf from [[TakeThat a band who at their top dollar best are blandly entertaining college rock]]" in an interview around the time of the recording of Trompe le Monde. He later apologized for these remarks, however.

* ChannelHop: For ''Music/{{Doolittle}}'', the band switched from Rough Trade to Creator/ElektraRecords for U.S. distribution, where they would remain until their breakup. Elektra would also reissue ''Come on Pilgrim'' and ''Music/SurferRosa'' after Rough Trade's collapse. [[Creator/FourADRecorde 4AD]]'s American arm would later acquire the band's US rights to the classic era in the early 2000s. The reunited band would create their own vanity label, Pixiesmusic, distributed by PIAS, for later albums.

Added DiffLines:
* BlackSheepHit: "Here Comes Your Man", possibly also "Where Is My Mind?"
* BreakupBreakout: Francis went on to an acclaimed solo career, and Kim founded Music/TheBreeders.

* ChartDisplacement: Out of their three highest charting singles, two are among their best known songs, "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven". But given "Where Is My Mind?" wasn't a single and "Debaser" didn't chart, the third was the much less remembered "Velouria".
* ColbertBump: The band's [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff British and European popularity]] seemed to benefit from having Music/DavidBowie as their number one fan.
* CreatorBacklash: ''Surfer Rosa'' carries an interesting example, as the backlash comes not from any particular member of the band, but rather, producer Music/{{Steve Albini}}, who called the album "A patchwork pinch loaf from [[TakeThat a band who at their top dollar best are blandly entertaining college rock]]" in an interview around the time of the recording of Trompe le Monde. He later apologized for these remarks, however.
* CutSong: The band's first single since 1991, "Bam Thwok" was originally recorded for ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'' before Creator/DreamworksAnimation opted to go with Music/CountingCrows' "Accidentally in Love" for the opening sequence instead.
* LateExportForYou: ''Come On Pilgrim'' was only released in the U.S. with Rough Trade's first CD issue of ''Music/SurferRosa'' as well as separately on vinyl and cassette.
* NoBudget: "Velouria"'s infamous music video. To have the song play on the UK's Top of the Pops to promote it while it was charting, it either needed a music video, or for them to fly to London and mime to a backing track in the studio. Not actually having money or time on hand to make a full video, the band just decided "screw it" and filmed 23 seconds of footage of them running towards a camera from across a quarry and stretched it out to the full length of the song.
* TheOtherDarrin: Female bassist Kim Deal was replaced by female bassist Kim Shattuck for a few months in 2013, though this is obviously averted with permanent replacement Paz Lechantin.
* PlayingAgainstType: The band was unusually loud compared to the other acts 4AD was known for, such as Music/CocteauTwins and Music/DeadCanDance. The Pixies were also one of 4AD's first American acts.
* ReferencedBy:
** Grace from ''Literature/TheStateOfGrace'' owns an old Pixies T-shirt her mom had when she was seventeen.
** Music/BloodhoundGang's "Fire Water Burn", after saying "I'm not Black like Music/BarryWhite, I'm White like Frank Black is", Jimmy Pop makes sure to reference "Monkey Gone to Heaven": "So if man is five and the Devil is six, than that must make me seven\This honky's gone to heaven".
* ShortRunInPeru: Their debut E.P. ''Come On Pilgrim'', excerpted from a demo session, was only released in the U.K. by Creator/FourADRecords despite being an American band. After its [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff rapturous reception by the British music press]], it was finally released stateside concurrently with the band's first full-length album, ''Music/SurferRosa'', appended to the CD version as well as separately on vinyl and cassette by fellow indie label Rough Trade.
* ThrowItIn: Music/SteveAlbini immortalised two sequences of StudioChatter on ''Surfer Rosa'': Francis' "You fuckin' DIE, I said!" between "Oh My Golly!" and "Vamos", and Deal's recounting of a teacher who was rumoured to be "into field hockey players" at the start of "I'm Amazed".
** The video for "Velouria" was one of these. According to Website/TheOtherWiki, the band was offered a spot on Top Of The Pops, but a BBC rule stated that only singles with videos could be performed on the show. So the band went to a quarry and filmed 23 seconds of them running through it… and stretched those 23 seconds to cover the entire length of the song.
