Pixies

In July 1989, when the Pixies graced the stage at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium, they were riding high on the buzz created by their sophomore album, *Doolittle*. Released just a few months earlier in April of that year, *Doolittle* became a pivotal record in the alternative rock scene, cementing the band’s unique sound that blended punk energy with surreal lyrics. This live performance really encapsulates the raw energy and captivating presence that the Pixies brought to their shows, showcasing fan favorites like "Debaser" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven." Interestingly, the band's influence would later resonate deeply within the grunge movement, with many artists citing them as major inspirations. Seeing them in their prime, during this moment, is a wonderful reminder of their chaotic charm that changed the musical landscape forever. It’s like witnessing a raw, explosive force captured in time!
