Pixies

By the time Pixies took the stage at Lakeview Amphitheatre on July 15, 2018, they had just released their album "Head Carrier" in 2016, which marked a significant moment in their revival after a hiatus. "Head Carrier" was notable for welcoming new bassist Paz Lenchantin, a change that brought fresh energy while maintaining their signature sound. Their live performance of "Vamos," a fan-favorite, showcased the band’s raw, alternative rock vibe that's characterized by dynamic shifts and haunting melodies. It's fascinating how the Pixies, known for influencing countless bands with their blend of noise and melody, managed to bridge their early hits with newer material, proving they still had the ability to electrify audiences years after their initial breakup in the early '90s. Watching them live, you can really feel that blend of nostalgia and renewed creativity, can’t you?
