Question: Was the Pixies a rock band when Pierre Bouvier was a child?
Context: Kimberley Ann "Kim" Deal (born June 10, 1961) is an American singer, songwriter and musician, best known as the former bassist and backup vocalist of the alternative rock band Pixies, and the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for The Breeders.  Deal joined Pixies in January 1986 as the band's bassist, adopting the stage name Mrs. John Murphy for the albums "Come on Pilgrim" and "Surfer Rosa".  Following "Doolittle" and Pixies' hiatus, she formed The Breeders with Tanya Donelly, Josephine Wiggs and later introduced her identical twin sister Kelley Deal.  Pixies broke up in early 1993. The discography of American alternative rock band The Breeders consists of four studio albums, one live album, three extended plays, ten singles and twelve music videos. Kim Deal, then-bassist of American alternative rock band the Pixies, formed The Breeders as a side-project with Tanya Donelly, guitarist of American alternative rock band Throwing Muses.  After recording a demo tape, The Breeders signed to the English independent record label 4AD in 1989.  Their debut studio album "Pod" was released in May 1990, but was not commercially successful.  After the revival of the Pixies and Throwing Muses in 1990, The Breeders became mostly inactive until the Pixies' breakup in 1993.  With a new lineup, The Breeders released their "Safari" EP in 1992, followed by their second studio album "Last Splash" in 1993.  "Last Splash" was The Breeders' most successful album; it peaked at number 33 on the United States "Billboard" 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1994.  The album spawned the band's most successful single, "Cannonball".  The single peaked at number 44 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 and at number two on the "Billboard" Alternative Songs chart. The Pixies are an American alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts.  Until 2013, the band comprised Black Francis (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), Kim Deal (bass, backing vocals) and David Lovering (drums).  The band disbanded acrimoniously in 1993, but reunited in 2004.  After Deal left in 2013, the Pixies hired Kim Shattuck as a touring bassist; she was replaced the same year by Paz Lenchantin, who became a permanent member in 2016. Bossanova is the third studio album by American rock band Pixies.  It was released in August 13, 1990 on the English independent record label 4AD in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States.  All of "Bossanova"<nowiki>'</nowiki>s original material was written by the band's frontman Black Francis; this was a first for a Pixies album, but he has written all of their songs since.  The album's sound, inspired by surf rock and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects. Pierre Charles Bouvier {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (born 9 May 1979) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, composer and actor who is best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Simple Plan. A number of tribute albums to the Pixies, an American alternative rock band, have been recorded since the band's break-up in 1993.  Artists featured on the albums range from American rock bands, such as Weezer, OK Go and Eve 6, to lesser-known European bands.  The first widely released Pixies tribute album, "Death to the Pixies—We're Better!" , was released in February 1998 as the result of a Pixies cover contest in the Netherlands that was launched by the magazine Oor, the radio station VPRO and the record label Play It Again Sam. "History" is the first single from Canadian band Story Untold.  The members of Story Untold are from Quebec, Canada, which is also home to Simple Plan.  Simple Plan has known the five-piece for a while, and the French Canadians teamed up to write Story Untold's newest single "History".  The song is about how the band is going to make it big, even if it seems like a crazy idea: "You can call me crazy/But when I close my eyes/I can see it clearly/I can see the shining lights."  The song was co-penned with Simple Plan's vocalist Pierre Bouvier and drummer Chuck Comeau.  The song is just one of seven songs on the band's self-titled EP.  History also has a music video where the band is a part of an underground fight club.  It features each boy taking on a different fighter, and it subtly introduces each band member for those who have never heard of Story Untold before.  An acoustic version of the song does appear on YouTube but is not featured on the Story Untold EP. Charles-André "Chuck" Comeau {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (born 17 September 1979) is a Canadian musician and drummer, best known for being the drummer of the rock band Simple Plan.

He is also former drummer for the punk rock band Reset from 1993 to 1999, which he quit to form Simple Plan with his Reset bandmate who also left Reset, Pierre Bouvier. "I'm Just a Kid" is the debut single by the band Simple Plan, written by Pierre Bouvier.  It appeared on their debut album "No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls".  It was featured in the films "Grind", "The New Guy", and "Cheaper by the Dozen". Joseph Alberto "Joey" Santiago (born June 10, 1965) is a Filipino-American guitarist and composer.  Active since 1986, Santiago is best known as the lead guitarist for the American alternative rock band the Pixies.
