On February 18, 2014, Pixies performed a live set at the KEXP studio, showcasing their unique blend of alternative rock that had largely shaped the music landscape in the late '80s and early '90s. This performance followed the release of their EP "EP-1," which came out in September 2013, marking the band’s first new material since their reunion in 2004. The KEXP session included some newer tracks like "Snakes" from "EP-1," along with fan favorites like "Monkey Gone to Heaven" from their esteemed 1989 album, "Doolittle." During this period, the Pixies were re-establishing their presence in the music scene, capitalizing on nostalgia while also introducing new content. An interesting aspect of the live recording is its intimate setting, which allows the energetic yet complex sound of the band to shine, demonstrating their enduring influence and appeal more than two decades after their initial success.
