Pixies

In July 2017, when the Pixies delivered their electrifying performance of "Wave of Mutilation" at the Positivus Festival in Latvia, they were in the midst of a remarkable resurgence. Just three years earlier, in 2016, they had released "Head Carrier," their first album since reuniting in 2004 after a decade-long hiatus. This album bore the band's iconic blend of punk energy and melodic sweetness, while "Wave of Mutilation," originally from their 1989 classic "Doolittle," has always stood as a fan favorite. It’s quite intriguing to note how their live shows, such as this one, help fuse both nostalgia and fresh excitement, engaging a diverse crowd. The Pixies' ability to captivate audiences, even decades into their journey, speaks volumes about their lasting influence and the communal spirit of live music. So, when you watch that performance, you're not just seeing a band; you're witnessing a legacy unfolding in real time.
