Pixies

The live recording of Pixies at Brixton Academy on June 26, 1991, captures the band during a significant phase in their career, shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "Bossanova" in 1990. This album marked a shift towards a somewhat more melodic sound, featuring tracks like "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire," which were staples in their live performances. By this time, the Pixies had firmly established themselves as influential figures within the alternative rock scene, and their energetic live shows contributed to their growing reputation. Notably, the Brixton Academy performance showcases their dynamic stage presence and the intensity of their music, with a setlist that includes fan favorites such as "Debaser" and "Gouge Away." This era also predates the band's eventual breakup in 1993, making this concert a poignant snapshot of their creative peak before they became dormant for over a decade.
