Pixies

In July 2016, when the Pixies took the stage at Cork Docklands, they were riding a wave of renewed energy following the release of their album *Head Carrier* in 2016. This was a pivotal moment for the band, marking their first album with new bassist Paz Lenchantin after the departure of Kim Deal. What's fascinating is how *Head Carrier* signified a return to form for the Pixies, blending their signature alt-rock sound with fresh elements, ultimately appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers alike. The Cork performance captured that excitement and energy, showcasing a band that had not only survived the tumult of the '90s but had also evolved musically. With the audience buzzing, it was clear the Pixies were reclaiming their spot at the forefront of the indie rock scene. Doesn’t it just make you wonder how bands adapt and reinvent themselves while staying true to their roots?
