Pixies

In August 2021, when Pixies performed at the Pasadena Daydream Festival, they were riding a creative wave marked by their 2019 album, "Beneath the Eyrie." This album was notable as it showcased their ever-evolving sound while remaining true to the raw energy and haunting melodies that fans adore. "Beneath the Eyrie" was recorded in a Church in Reykjavik, Iceland—quite a unique setting that contributed to its ethereal vibe. During the live recording at the festival, you could sense how the band expertly melded nostalgia with new material, showing that their energy hadn’t waned despite their decades-long career. Not to mention, the performance came just after the band’s hiatus due to the pandemic, amplifying the thrill for both the band and their audience. As they took the stage, it was clear: the Pixies were not just back—they were revitalized, celebrating both past and present while igniting the same fervor that made them legends in the first place.
