Pixies

Ah, the Pixies! By the time they hit the stage at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on June 22, 2018, they were well into their resurgence. This performance came a few years after the release of their album "Head Carrier" in 2016, which was the first studio album since their reunion. Interestingly, "Head Carrier," while well-received, didn’t quite replicate the groundbreaking magic of their earlier work, like “Surfer Rosa” or “Doolittle.” That said, this live recording captures the raw energy and iconic sound that made Pixies legends in alternative rock. If you listen closely, you can feel the nostalgia and excitement in their performance, echoing decades of influence on bands that followed. Plus, let’s not forget the band’s knack for blending the bizarre with the beautiful, which really shines in songs like "La La Love You." It's thrilling to witness a band like Pixies continue to connect with fans both new and old, right there under the Florida sky.
