Pixies

In June 2018, when Pixies performed "Gouge Away" at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, they were riding high on the momentum of their album *Head Carrier*, which had been released in 2016. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was the first to feature bassist Paz Lenchantin, who joined the band after the departure of Kim Deal. *Head Carrier* was well-received, solidifying their revival since reuniting in 2004. Interestingly, the setlist from that evening showcases their knack for blending raw energy with melodic complexity, echoing the same spirit they had in their groundbreaking early work like *Doolittle*. The performance of "Gouge Away," with its haunting lyrics and powerful instrumentation, highlights how Pixies have maintained their unique sound while evolving over the decades. It’s a reminder of their lasting influence in the alt-rock scene, captivating both longtime fans and newer audiences alike.
