Pixies

In June 1991, when the Pixies delivered their electrifying performance of "River Euphrates" at the Brixton Academy in London, they were riding high on the success of their third studio album, *Bossanova*, which had dropped just a year earlier. This album maintained the band's characteristic blend of alternative rock and surf music, showcasing their unique sound that many have praised for its raw energy and emotional depth. The live recording captures the intensity and vibrancy that defined this era for the Pixies, right before they began to shift toward a more experimental style in their subsequent work, *Trompe le Monde*. Interestingly, this concert was part of their peak touring period, where they were opening new doors in the alternative music scene. It’s also worth noting that their stage presence, combined with the intimate venue vibe, created a truly unforgettable experience that fans still celebrate today.
