Joey Santiago of the Pixies has hooked up with Nike to compose the music for an upcoming documentary that the company is producing. The film will involved football, but not the one played in the states with pigskin.
While the pairing might seem a little odd to some, Santiago is no stranger to the world of commercial scores. He has done work for shows like Weeds and Undeclared, as well as films like Crime and Punishment in Suburbia.
Santiago’s most recent project, Nike Presents: Blood, Sweat and Tears: Football in the Rough will be released in installments via NikeFootball.com. Nike reps are saying that the documentary has “both guts and determination.” Viewers can judge for themselves, though, when the first chapter comes out later this month.
