Pixies

In July 1989, when the Pixies took the stage at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium, they were riding high on the success of their seminal album *Doolittle*, released just a few months earlier in April. This album not only solidified their status in the alternative rock scene but also gave us classic tracks like "Debaser" and of course, "Where Is My Mind?" Their energetic live performance at this festival, captured in the video linked, showcases the unique blend of punk and pop that defined their sound—a style that would eventually influence countless bands in the 90s and beyond. It's noteworthy that the Pixies were known for their tight performances and Frank Black's quirky stage presence, which added a certain magic to shows like this one. Fans often recall how their music felt both raw and meticulously crafted, a juxtaposition that leaves you wondering: how did they get that just right? That night in Belgium, the Pixies were not just performing—they were leaving an indelible mark on the music scene.
