Pixies

In November 1987, when the Pixies performed "Levitate Me" live in London, they were riding high on the wave of their debut album, *Come On Pilgrim*, released just a few months earlier in September. This mini-album introduced listeners to their unique blend of surf rock and punk, setting the stage for their critical acclaim. What’s particularly fascinating is the raw energy evident in that live performance, reflecting the band's willingness to push boundaries in indie rock. Interestingly, they were known for their explosive shows that left audiences both exhilarated and bewildered, a testament to their reputation as pioneering figures in the alternative music scene. It's remarkable to think how that moment in ’87 foreshadowed the monumental impact the Pixies would have on countless musicians in the years that followed.
