Pixies
Pixies Live Performance at iTunes Festival in Roundhouse, London
In September 2013, when the Pixies performed at the Roundhouse in London for the iTunes Festival, they were riding the wave of a significant career resurgence. Just a year prior, they released "EP1," their first collection of new music in over two decades, signaling a return to form that ignited excitement among long-time fans and newcomers alike. This period was crucial for the band, not only because they were reestablishing their presence in an evolving music landscape, but also due to their decision to work without founding member Kim Deal, which brought about both challenges and new dynamics within their sound. While playing at the Roundhouse, the band blended classic hits with new tracks, masterfully navigating the nostalgia of their past alongside fresh material. The energy during that live recording encapsulated the essence of the Pixies—an exhilarating mix of punk, surf rock, and surrealism that keeps their legacy alive and thriving. Pretty remarkable, right?
