Pixies

On October 9, 2009, Pixies performed a memorable show at the O2 Academy Brixton, capturing the dynamic energy that defined their second act. This concert was part of their tour supporting "Doolittle 25," marking the 25th anniversary of their influential album "Doolittle," which they had reissued around the same time. It's fascinating how this live recording showcases their distinct blend of punk energy and melodic hooks, reminding fans old and new of the raw intensity that initially propelled them into the spotlight in the late '80s. Interestingly, by this era, the band had a massive resurgence, having reunited in 2004, and they were once again captivating audiences with their unconventional sound. The Brixton performance stands out not just for its energetic delivery, but also for how it solidifies their legacy—proof that some musical sparks never fade, no matter how many years go by.
