Pixies

In December 2017, the Pixies delivered a powerful live performance at the Fox Theater in Oakland, a few months after their album "Head Carrier" was released in September of that same year. This album marked a significant step in their career, as it was their first with bassist Paz Lenchantin, following the departure of founding member Kim Deal. The band, known for their influential blend of alternative rock and punk, showcased fresh material from "Head Carrier" during this concert, which was a pivotal time for them. Interestingly, the Pixies were on a creative upswing, having reformed in 2004 after an extended hiatus. Their live shows, like this one, are celebrated for their raw energy and dynamic crowd engagement, proving they’ve retained their edge and passion despite the years. It’s fascinating to see how they’ve navigated their legacy while continuously evolving, highlighting their enduring impact on the music scene.
