Pixies

In July 2016, when the Pixies took the stage at Les Vieilles Charrues, they were riding high on the momentum of their 2016 album, "Head Carrier." This marked their first release following the return of bassist Paz Lenchantin, who brought a fresh energy to the band's dynamic after her addition in 2014. The live recording resonates with the band's signature blend of punk rock, surrealism, and catchy melodies, perfectly showcasing their ability to electrify a crowd. It’s interesting to note that their earlier works heavily influenced countless indie and alternative bands, and by 2016, they were firmly established veterans of the rock scene. The live performance not only highlighted tracks from "Head Carrier" but also underscored the enduring appeal of classic hits like "Where Is My Mind?" It's a testament to their legacy that even years later, their sound feels just as invigorating and relevant. What a journey it's been for them!
