Pixies
Hey (Pixies cover) performed live by Russian Around at Elliot's Bar, Aberdare
In 2012, when the Pixies graced Elliot's Bar with their electrifying presence on May 7, they were riding a wave of nostalgia and renewed energy in their career. Just two years earlier, the band had released "Dolittle" as part of their celebrated early albums, a release that was pivotal in solidifying their legacy as a cornerstone of alternative rock. Interestingly, during this live performance, the band was in the midst of an extensive tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of "Dolittle," which only deepened the connection fans felt for songs from that iconic album. It’s also worth noting that the Pixies have a reputation for their raw, dynamic performances, and this evening in Aberdare likely echoed that signature energy. The playful essence of the video description "WHEN THE BABY BREAKS!!!" hints at the band’s humorous and irreverent spirit that they’ve maintained throughout their career, captivating audiences both old and new.
