Pixies

In September 1990, when Pixies took the stage at the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht, they were riding the wave of their third studio album, "Bossanova," which was released just a month prior. This album marked a pivotal point in their career, as it showcased a more melodic and surf-rock influenced sound compared to their earlier, rawer work. Interestingly, "Bossanova" was the band's first release after relocating to Los Angeles, where they sought out an eclectic mix of influences that can be felt in their new tracks. During that live performance, fans were treated to an energetic set that included memorable hits from their earlier records, perfectly capturing the band's blend of chaos and charm. The Utrecht show exemplified their dynamic stage presence, which was a hallmark of their reputation, and it’s a treasure for fans, reflecting a band that was evolving yet staying true to its distinctive sound.
