Pixies Perform 'Something Against You' Live at Vredenburg, Utrecht 1990
In September 1990, when the Pixies rocked the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht, they were in the midst of a thrilling phase in their career. Just months prior, they had released their seminal album, "Doolittle," which arrived in April of the same year. This record sharpened their edge, blending soft melodic hooks with raw, aggressive soundscapes, and it solidified their place in the alt-rock pantheon. It's interesting to note that "Doolittle" featured tracks like "Debaser" and "Wave of Mutilation," which became fan favorites and still resonate today. The live performance captured in this recording highlights the band’s intense energy and quirky stage presence, essential elements of their charm. Just think about it: witnessing "Something Against You" live during the band's prime, as they were defining a genre and influencing countless musicians to follow. That night in Utrecht must’ve felt electric!
