Pixies Live Performance of 'Velouria' at Music Box, Hollywood
In November 2011, when the Pixies performed "Velouria" live at the Music Box at the Fonda in Los Angeles, they were deep into their “Lost Cities” tour. This tour followed the release of their EP "Pixies" in 2014, which coincided with their overall triumphal return to the music scene after their reunion. It’s fascinating to think about how the band, known for their explosive blend of punk rock and melodic pop, managed to maintain their edge even after all those years. The unique rawness of their live performances, like this intimate show, captures the essence of a band that has always thrived on energy and experimentation. Did you know this show was actually a sort of secret gig? It wasn’t part of their regular tour but rather a special night off! That's classic Pixies—never quite predictable, always keeping their fans on their toes. It’s a reminder of why they’re still revered in the alt-rock realm.
