Man, I am sure you are right, and I may even be misremembering, but I could swear Frank Black said "Hi. We're the Pixies" when he started their set, opening for U2 back in the early nineties. The. Pixies. I don't know whether to be irritated with Frank Black or at my own dumb memory for being sure I was gonna at least get that one right.

Lots of these are commonly referred to with a "the", but it's about whether it's part of the official name or not.

Look at their album covers. It just says "Pixies" not "The Pixies". And for the purposes of the quiz I'm going by their Wikipedia page title.

Oh, I wasn't doubting you. I know you are right. It is just funny to me that even Frank got it wrong in a live performance.

Sure, but what I also meant is that it's not wrong to say "the Pixies". That's the normal way of saying it. Saying "We're Pixies" would sound odd!
