Pixies Performance of Debaser at Ejekt Festival in Athens

Venue: Olympic Fencing Center Location: Athens, Greece Date: June 18, 2009

In June 2009, when the Pixies performed "Debaser" live at the Ejekt Festival in Athens, they were riding the wave of their reunion that began in 2004, which reignited fan enthusiasm and allowed them to reconnect with their classic sound. Just before this recording, the band had released "**Indie Cindy**" in 2014, marking their first full-length album of new material in over two decades. However, at the time of the Athens show, they were hitting a nostalgic groove with their iconic tracks from earlier albums like "**Doolittle**," from which "Debaser" hails. This song's chilling opening lines, “Got me a movie, I want you to know,” perfectly encapsulate their unique blend of surreal imagery and raw energy, which resonates deeply with fans. Interestingly, performing at such a vibrant festival further solidified their legacy, showing how they’ve maintained a loyal following across generations. It’s fascinating how they can evoke such emotion even years after their heyday—real testament to their artistry!
