Pixies

In July 2017, when the Pixies took the stage at the Positivus Festival in Latvia, they were riding high on the waves of their 2016 album *Head Carrier*. This record marked a significant moment in their discography, being the first full-length release after the return of bassist Paz Lenchantin to the lineup. In *Head Carrier*, built with that classic Pixies sound—raw, edgy guitars paired with introspective lyrics—they brought a fresh energy while still maintaining that signature blend of punk, surf, and alternative rock. The performance of "Talent" at the festival was a testament to their enduring relevance in the music world, not to mention a love letter to fans who had been closely following their evolution over the years. Interestingly, this set not only highlighted new material but also reinforced the band's dedication to their roots, showcasing that their live performances continue to resonate with authenticity and emotional depth.
