Shattuck was fired from Pixies after just three months with the iconic band, before being replaced by Paz Lenchantin - who has previously performed with A Perfect Circle, ZWAN and The Entrance Band.
Now, speaking to Jonah Raydio, Shattuck said: "The manager kept trying to make me really nervous. He's kind of weird. He did it to me and he did it to Joey [Santiago] before the iTunes Roundhouse gig. He goes into my face and goes, 'Kim, I just wanted you to know that there are gonna be billions of people watching you live and you need to be perfect.' I laughed, I'm like, 'Well good thing for me that I never get nervous.' I heard him do it to Joey, too."
When asked about her response to being fired, Shattuck replied: "They didn't tell me why or anything, although I had some inkling why. I don't know whether I'm ready to say or not. But it wasn't to do with me as much as you'd think."

Frontman Black Francis recently issued a statement to shrug off the importance of Shattuck's departure, arguing: "The big question mark is, if it was going so well, why are you changing it up again? I guess it’s a fair question, but what I would say is, just because some shows went well or a recording session went well with somebody, that doesn't mean that now you guys are married and this is forever.
"It’s not really how it works when you’re a band. And it’s hard to explain to people, especially if they get emotionally attached to one person."
The band return to the UK in June 2014 to headline London's Field Day Festival. Tickets are on sale now. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
