Pixies

In 2019, when the Pixies performed live at the Moda Center in Portland, they were riding high on the success of their album *Beneath the Eyrie*, released just months prior, in September of 2019. This record marked their first full-length album of new material in over three years and saw the band exploring darker, more introspective themes, a notable evolution from their earlier, more surreal works. The performance featured powerful renditions of "Death Horizon" and "Gouge Away," showcasing their trademark blend of haunting melodies and frenetic energy. Interestingly, the Pixies’ ability to intertwine art and performance has made their live shows a masterclass in engaging audiences—a testament to their status as one of the defining bands of the alternative rock scene. The juxtap of their newer sounds with classic tracks allowed fans to experience the band's evolution firsthand, creating a captivating atmosphere at the Moda Center.
