Pixies

On January 5, 1988, the Pixies performed a live set at the Town and Country Club in London, capturing a moment in their career during the promotion of their landmark album "Surfer Rosa," which had been released in March 1988. This performance showcased some of the band's early hits, including “Bone Machine” and “Nimrod’s Son,” which exemplify their signature blend of punk, surf rock, and innovative sound. The band was starting to gain significant traction in the alternative rock scene, and their unique approach often influenced the grunge movement that followed. Notably, this performance occurred before their ascent to mainstream recognition, making it a pivotal moment as they began to establish themselves as a seminal force in the music industry, laying the groundwork for their future albums and enduring legacy.
