Pixies

Back in June 1991, Pixies were riding high on the wave generated by their third studio album, “Bossanova,” which had just hit the shelves a year prior. The live performance at Brixton Academy is a thrilling snapshot of a band at a pivotal moment, just as they were blending surf rock with their signature alt-rock sound. Interestingly, they’d just come off the heels of "Doolittle," an album that had gained them considerable underground acclaim and some mainstream traction. This era marks a unique transition for the band, merging the whimsical yet intense vibe of their earlier work with a more polished production. Their live shows during this time were electric, drawing in audiences with emotionally charged performances. Plus, fans will appreciate that "Palace of the Brine," while not a single, showcases their quirky lyrical style and flat-out raw energy that captivated listeners and left a lasting mark on the alternative scene. It’s a real gem of a moment that encapsulates their essence beautifully!
