Frank Black & the Catholics Live at Melkweg was recorded in the aftermath of Dog in the Sand, which ‘plays as a true classicist rock ‘n’ roll album, without resorting to clichés or sounding reactionary.’ Reminiscent of Exile on Main Street-era Stones and early Bowie… all the tracks share a roots feel, accented by Rich Gilbert’s frequent use of a pedal steel guitar.’ the Catholics represent ‘rock as large, expansive, and over-romanticized… as the western skies hanging over the rural-route honky-tonk dives whose atmosphere they so readily evoke.’ -Pitchfork in their usual high-energy fashion, Black and the band unapologetically tear through their expansive catalog, banging out with uncanny familiarity some of Black’s greatest Pixies’ tunes like Mr. Grieves, Monkey Gone to Heaven and Where is My Mind?. Live at Melkweg was recorded at the legendary Amsterdam club on March 24th, 2001.
