Pixies

When the Pixies took the stage at the Positivus Festival in 2017, they were riding high on the wave of their 2016 album, "Head Carrier." This album marked a significant return for the band since their earlier reunion, showing once again their knack for blending that iconic raw energy with new sonic explorations. Interestingly, "U-Mass," the live track featured in the recording, hails from their 1991 album "Trompe le Monde," a fan favorite known for its punchy hooks and lyrical depth. By 2017, the Pixies were not just reminiscing about their past hits; they were actively creating vibrant, fresh music that resonated with both old fans and new listeners. The Positivus performance showcased this blend well, reminding everyone that the Pixies' sound—part punk, part garage rock—is timeless. It’s incredible how they managed to captivate the crowd, making us all feel a part of the moment, blending nostalgia with the thrill of the present.
