Pixies - Hey live performance at AB in Brussels
In February 2013, when the Pixies rocked the stage at AB in Brussels, they were navigating an intriguing phase of their career. Just prior, in 2014, they had released "EP-1," their first collection of new material in over two decades. This marked a significant resurgence for the band, which had initially disbanded in 1993. The live recording of “Hey,” a track from their iconic 1989 album "Doolittle," showcases their ability to blend nostalgia with fresh energy, thrilling both old fans and new listeners. Interestingly, during this period, they were exploring a return to their roots while experimenting with the evolving landscape of indie rock—a fascinating juxtaposition. Their music still resonated deeply, striking a chord with audiences who appreciated the raw, frank lyricism and dynamic sound that initially made them pioneers in the alternative scene.
