Biography
In early 1994, at the beginning of Frank Black's post-Pixies solo career, he was invited to do a session for John Peel. In the absence of his regular backing band, Frank called on casual acquaintances Teenage Fanclub to back him up for the recording; which of course they hastily agreed to do. The resulting tracks were released on BBC Worldwide as Frank Black & Teenage Fanclub: The Peel Sessions. The record has a fantastic informal atmosphere to it. Frank's signature vocal style is half-complemented, half-mimicked by the Fannies' yelling, accents much in evidence. The musical balance, as suggested by the lineup, is strongly biased toward vocals and guitar, and it's obvious in every way exactly how much fun everyone was having.
