Pixies

In June 2014, when Pixies performed "Gouge Away" at the Eden Sessions, they were in an exciting phase of their career following their reunion in 2004. This live recording, which showcases the raw energy and distinct sound that the band is renowned for, came right after the release of their EPs *EP1* (2014) and *EP2* (2014). These EPs marked their first new music in over two decades, creating a palpable buzz among fans and critics alike.

The performance in Cork captured the band's electrifying stage presence, reminding audiences why they’ve remained influential in the music scene. The bittersweet lyrics and frenetic instrumentals in “Gouge Away” came alive in this intimate setting, bridging their classic hits with their new material in a thrilling way.
