'This show, first and foremost, was about digging deep into the stranger corners of the Pixies discography'
2024 marks twenty years since Pixies first reformed, meaning that they’ve been recording and performing during this second act for nearly three times as long as they did first time around.
This second life has largely been a much more serene affair, or at least it had been until last week. Just days before kicking off this tour in Dublin over the weekend, Pixies announced that they had split from bassist Paz Lenchantin after ten years, with the news taking fans, the press and - apparently - Lenchantin herself by surprise.
These albums, Bossanova and Trompe le Monde, are revered by Pixies fans and most music critics alike, even if they are perhaps not quite held in the regard of the two records that preceded them; both Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are seen as seminal indie rock works. They fire through it at breakneck pace, as has become routine at Pixies shows; frontman Black Francis takes only the occasional pause to address the crowd, reserving his vocal energy for the back half of the set, which sees a subtle change in backdrop, from the planets that adorn the cover of Bossanova to the eyeballs from the artwork to the night’s second album, Trompe le Monde.
