Pixies

On November 5, 2011, the Pixies were in a fascinating phase of their career, having successfully rekindled their spark after reuniting in 2004. By this time, they had released *Doolittle*—their beloved second album—more than two decades earlier, and it had cemented their status as icons of alternative rock. At the Paramount in Huntington, New York, they performed "Debaser," a fan favorite that captures the band's unique blend of surreal lyrics and infectious melodies. Interestingly, 2011 marked a period where the Pixies were focused on celebrating their legacy, touring extensively while also teasing their fans with the prospect of new material. This live recording showcases their ability to deliver high-energy performances filled with nostalgia, proving that even after years apart, they could still bring that raw, edgy spirit to the stage that originally defined their sound. Who doesn’t love a good throwback, right? It’s like reconnecting with an old friend who still knows how to make you feel alive.
