Pixies

In July 2017, Pixies thrilled fans with a live performance of "Gouge Away" at the Positivus Festival in Latvia. By this time, they were riding high on the success of their 2016 album *Head Carrier*, which marked a significant moment in their discography since it was their first with guitarist Joey Santiago after a long hiatus. *Head Carrier* successfully showcased their signature blend of loud-quiet dynamics and surreal lyricism that fans adore. It’s also worth noting that despite some lineup changes over the years, the band retained its unique sound, melding indie rock’s raw energy with art pop’s eclecticism. This live recording not only highlights the band’s enduring legacy but also their ability to capture the energy of a festival setting, proving that their music resonates just as powerfully today as it did during their heyday in the late '80s and early '90s.
