Pixies

The Pixies are a band renowned for their influential sound that blends punk rock with a unique twist. By the time they played at the Moda Center in Portland on April 6, 2019, they were riding high on the release of their album *Beneath the Eyrie*, which had come out in September 2019. This marked their return to the studio for a full-length offering after a six-year hiatus since *Indie Cindy* in 2014, which had its own mixed reception. What's particularly cool about the Portland show, while performing the iconic track "Hey," is how it showcases their ability to capture an audience's energy, all while revisiting their classic sound amidst newer material. The band has always maintained a fervent fan base, not only because of their rich discography—featuring singles like “Where Is My Mind?” and “Gigantic”—but also due to their electric live performances. It’s clear they still harness that raw energy that first defined them back in the late '80s, blending nostalgia with a contemporary edge. This live recording reflects their enduring legacy in the alt-rock scene, bridging the past with the present in an unforgettable way.
