Pixies

At the time of their live performance at NOS Alive in Portugal on July 7, 2016, Pixies had just released their latest album, *Head Carrier*, a project that came out in September 2016, shortly after this show. This album marked a significant moment for the band because it was their first full-length release featuring bassist Paz Lenchantin as an official member. You know, for fans, this addition brought a fresh energy to their signature sound, blending familiar alt-rock vibes with new twists. Interestingly, Pixies had been on a roll, celebrating their legacy while introducing new material after their reunion in 2004. The live recording not only showcases their enduring charisma and tight performances but also highlights how they were seamlessly integrating their classic tracks with their newer songs, reminding everyone why they’re considered pioneers of the alternative rock scene. It’s like catching a beautiful glimpse of a band that continues to evolve without losing that iconic edge.
