Pixies

In August 2022, when Pixies took the stage at the Hear Hear Festival in Belgium, they were in a vibrant phase of their career, having just released their seventh studio album, *Doggerel*, a mere year earlier. This album, which dropped in September 2021, was quite notable as it marked a return to their punk-rooted sound while embracing more melodic elements. It feels like a full-circle moment for the band, as they were known for their sonic experimentation back in the late '80s and '90s. The performance of "Velouria," a classic track from their influential 1989 album *Doolittle*, shows how they continue to capture both nostalgic fans and newer audiences alike. It's fascinating that even after all these years, tunes like "Velouria" still resonate so powerfully, bridging their storied past with a dynamic present. The energy in their live performances remains electrifying, making it clear that the Pixies are as relevant today as ever.
