Pixies

In July 2016, when Pixies took the stage at Les Vieilles Charrues in France, they were riding on the wave of their 2016 album, *Head Carrier*. Released just a few days before the festival, this album marked a significant milestone as it was their second full-length project since reuniting in 2004. The vibe around this era was electric, featuring a mix of their classic sound and fresh energy, with *Head Carrier* showcasing a more matured yet still edgy Pixies. Interestingly, the performance at La Prairie de Kerampuilh included "Baal's Back," a track that captures their signature blend of catchy melodies and cryptic lyrics. At this point in their career, Pixies were not just nostalgic icons, but vibrant and relevant, signaling that they were far from done evolving musically. It’s thrilling to think about how their legacy continues to influence up-and-coming musicians while still delivering powerful live experiences.
