Pixies

In August 2024, when the Pixies delivered their electrifying performance at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki, they were riding the wave of their latest album, "Doggerel," which released just the previous fall. This album, their first full-length studio release since 2016's "Head Carrier," signifies a robust comeback, showcasing that the band still captured the same raw energy that made them legends in the alternative rock scene. Interestingly, "Doggerel" delves into themes of loss and reflection while also embracing their signature sound characterized by dissonant guitars and haunting melodies. Fans at the Helsinki show were treated to classics like “Cecilia Ann” and “Wave of Mutilation,” highlighting the band's ability to blend both new and beloved tracks seamlessly. It's a testament to the Pixies’ enduring legacy, proving they can hold the attention of both longtime followers and new listeners alike. What’s not to love about that?
