Boston's Pixies are the most influential band to emerge from the American alternative rock scene of the eighties, with the permission of Hüsker Dü and Sonic Youth. Without them, Nirvana would surely not have existed. Their concerts are still volcanic lessons in noise and melody.
Unleashing a volcanic re-reading of American hardcore with their own style and a halo of exoticism, Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering formed Pixies in 1986 and split up in 1992, without knowing that from then on they would become legends. Albums such as "Come On Pilgrim" (1987) "Doolittle" (1989), "Bossanova" (1990) or "Trompe Le Monde" (1991) are masterpieces brimming with chaos, surrealism and sweetness, concretizing the blessed eccentricity of Kim Francis' lyrical and sonorous universe, full of sexual and religious metaphors. In 2004 they decided to reunite again to finally enjoy the popularity they were denied, in the form of concerts in large venues and festivals. And although Kim Deal got off the ship in 2013, they have since prolonged their discography with dignity, on albums like "Indie Cindy" (2014), "Head Carrier" (2016), "Beneath The Eyrie" (2019) and "Doggerel" (2022): the latter, the most consistently solid of the four.
