Pixies

In May 1989, when the Pixies performed at the Rodon Club in Athens, Greece, they were riding the wave of their second album, "Doolittle," which had been released just a month earlier, on April 17. "Doolittle" is often hailed as one of the band's finest works, showcasing their unique blend of surf rock, punk, and psychedelic influences. It's remarkable to note that during this era, the Pixies were still somewhat under the radar, yet they were setting the stage for the grunge explosion that would follow, inspiring a multitude of bands like Nirvana and Radiohead. The live performance captured in this recording exemplifies their raw energy and artistic ingenuity, as they effortlessly transitioned between ethereal melodies and raucous outbursts. Fans and critics alike were taken aback by their dynamic sound, and this concert is a snapshot of a band on the brink of becoming iconic.
