Pixies

In June 2023, when Pixies took the stage in Asheville, North Carolina, they were in the midst of an exciting phase in their career, following the release of their album *Doggerel*, which came out just the previous September. This album marked a return to form, showcasing their iconic blend of surf-rock melodies and punk energy, all while treading new creative waters. Interestingly, Pixies have always had a knack for balancing the raw and the refined, and this recent project continued that trend, as it was both introspective and accessible. The Asheville show, part of their North American tour, was a chance for longtime fans and new listeners alike to revel in the distinct sound that has defined them for decades. With hits and new tracks mingling, it was a testament to their staying power in the music landscape, proving that even in 2023, they still know how to bring the house down.
