Pixies

In July 1989, when the Pixies performed at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium, they were promoting their second studio album, "Doolittle," which was released just a few months earlier in April 1989. "Doolittle" marked a significant point in the band's career, showcasing their unique blend of punk, surf rock, and alternative music, which contributed to the formation of the grunge sound that emerged in the early '90s. The live performance of "Gouge Away," a standout track from the album, highlights the band's dynamic energy and strong stage presence during this pivotal moment. At the time, the Pixies were gaining critical acclaim and a growing fan base, ultimately influencing many musicians in the alternative scene, including notable acts like Nirvana. This performance reflects the band's rise to prominence in the indie music landscape and their ability to connect with audiences through powerful live shows.
