The Pixies concert is taking place in den Atelier on 7 August. Here is your chance to rock all night with some free tickets.
The Pixies, an American rock band formed in 1986 in Boston, are widely recognized for their pioneering influence on alternative rock. The group, consisting of Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering, is known for their distinctive mix of punk energy, indie sensibility, and surf rock influences.
The band gained attention with their 1987 debut EP, Come On Pilgrim, but it was their 1988 album Surfer Rosa that really put them on the map. The album’s raw sound and quirky lyrics set them apart with standout tracks like "Where Is My Mind?" capturing listeners’ imaginations.
Their third album, Doolittle (1989), is considered an alternative rock classic. With hits such as "Debaser" and "Here Comes Your Man," the band’s innovative blend of loud and soft dynamics made a significant impact on the music scene and influenced bands like Nirvana.
The Pixies disbanded in 1993, but their legacy continued to grow. They reunited in 2004, sparking new interest in their music. Their recent albums, including Indie Cindy (2014) and Head Carrier (2016), brought them back into the spotlight.
They are celebrated for their lasting imprint on the alternative rock genre. Their innovative sound and style continue to influence musicians and captivate fans.
