Pixies

In November 2016, when the Pixies delivered their electrifying performance at the Auditorium Stravinski in Montreux, they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album, *Head Carrier.* Released a year prior in 2016, this album marked a significant return for the band, showcasing their distinctive blend of punk, surf rock, and alternative sound. It was their first full-length studio effort since bringing on guitarist Joey Santiago again after a hiatus from their earlier records. What's particularly riveting about this period in the Pixies' career is how they seamlessly blended new material while still bringing the fervor of their classic hits. With a revival of their quirky, off-kilter storytelling, the Montreux concert captured the essence of a band that had not only reclaimed their legacy but also found new energy in their music, making the live recording a true testament to their enduring influence in the rock scene.
