Pixies

In October 2009, when Pixies delivered their lively set at the O2 Academy Brixton, they were deep into the “Doolittle” tour, celebrating their iconic album's 20th anniversary. Released in 1989, "Doolittle" solidified their status as pioneers of alternative rock with classics like “Here Comes Your Man” and “Monkey Gone to Heaven.” At the time of the Brixton performance, Pixies had also recently released "Minotaur," a luxurious box set that offered a remastered version of "Doolittle" along with bonus material. It's fascinating to think about how this live recording encapsulates not only their relentless energy on stage but also their deep connection with the cult following they’ve built over the years. Imagine the excitement in the audience, chanting along as they experienced the magic of a band whose influence is still felt today, reminding us that sometimes, the best stories are told through live music and unforgettable performances.
