Pixies Live Performance of Hey at Brixton Academy Doolittle Show

Venue: O2 Academy Brixton Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: October 9, 2009

In October 2009, during their live performance at O2 Academy Brixton, the Pixies were celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal album, *Doolittle*. This iconic record, released in 1989, marked a pivotal moment in their career, solidifying their sound characterized by loud-quiet dynamics and surreal lyrics that influenced countless artists and genres. At this point in their history, Pixies had reunited after a split in the mid-1990s, returning to the stage with renewed vigor, and the Brixton show was part of a tour that revisited *Doolittle* in its entirety. Interestingly, *Doolittle* contained tracks like “Debaser” and “Wave of Mutilation,” which are fan favorites that still resonate in alternative rock circles today. This concert not only showcased their enduring legacy but also captured the raw energy that defines their live performances—making it a memorable night for both the band and the fans.
