Bassist Paz Lenchantin has left the Pixies following a ten year stint. She's been replaced by former Band of Skulls bassist Emma Richardson.

They’ll be joined by former Band of Skulls bassist Emma Richardson when they kick off a European tour on March 8 in Dublin, Ireland. My departure is a bit of a surprise to me as it is to many, but it looks like they have a solid plan figured out which in turn has pushed me to move onwards onto new projects that I am excited about.” On that album, she sang and co-wrote “All I Think About Now.” At Lenchantin’s urging, Thompson wrote the lyrics (“Remember when we were happy?/If I’m late can I thank you now?”) as an open letter to Kim Deal.
