About Pixies

The Pixies, hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, are an iconic American alternative rock band that emerged in 1986. Founded by Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal, and David Lovering, the Pixies are celebrated for pioneering the "loud-quiet-loud" dynamic that would define much of the alternative rock genre. Their unique blend of punk rock aggression and pop music's infectious melodies has left an indelible mark on the music landscape. Albums like "Surfer Rosa" and "Doolittle" are considered classics, showcasing their signature sound that juxtaposes soft verses with explosive choruses. The band's influence is immense, inspiring countless acts and shaping the alternative rock boom of the 1990s. After a hiatus and subsequent reformation, the Pixies continue to tour and release new music, with their most recent album, "The Night the Zombies Came," released in October 2024. Their live performances are a testament to their enduring legacy, featuring a mix of classic hits and new material that captivates audiences across generations.
