…It may very well be a sign of the impending apocalypse, but a proposed collaboration between comic singer “Weird Al” Yankovic and members of Boston alt-darlings Pixies might just be too amazing to fathom.Pixies frontman Black Francis will be hosting the event, and will also perform over the course of the evening, appearing solo, with wife Violet Clark, and of course, with members of Pixies, with Flea filling in for Kim Deal. Members of Love and Rockets and She Wants Revenge are also scheduled to perform, while the second night will feature comedy by Tim and Eric, Bob Odenkirk, and Pixies drummer David Lovering. Francis is also scheduled to perform on the second night, which certainly sounds interesting. Who knew that the band had a knack for comedy, aside from morbidly goofy lyrics and the occasional sketch betwen tracks? For those unable to attend the benefit, let’s just hope that both nights will be professionally recorded, or at least caught by dozens of amateur cameras.
