The Boston group proposes a long repertoire of 40 songs, where their emblematic hymns will not be missing
"Better to burn than to slowly shut down." Neil Young's verse could have served (also) as a corollary of Pixies after his first and incandescent years of life. Between 1987 and 1991, the Boston Quartet delivered a minielepé and four elepés, all masterpieces: Come On Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990) and Trompe le Monde (1991). An alternative rock legend was born. To round off the cult, Black Francis, his vocalist, guitar and main composer, decided in 1993 to send everything to hell ... Or almost, because, a decade later, in 2004, he would reunite the rest of the band - Kim Deal ( bass and voice), Joey Santiago (guitar) and David Lovering (drums) - to give some massive concerts and do some cash , which at the time the fortune denied them in favor of Nirvana and all that grunge wave of the 90's I owed them so much in terms of sound. His time at Primavera Sound in 2004 was an event that propelled the festival to another dimension.
In 2013, with much of his record return already recorded, Deal got out of the car definitively for his historical disagreements with Francis: there were concerts of that time in which both did not even look at each other's face during the two hours of the show. For dysfunctional, they. His replacement, the recently deceased Kim Shattuck (The Muffs and The Pandoras), did not last a sigh. In the end it was the Argentine Paz Lenchantin (former member of A Perfect Circle) who took the position before the tour of her sixth album, Indie Cindy (2014). The staff has remained stable during their next jobs, Head Carrier (2016) and the recent Beneath The Eyrie (2019), which they present on Thursday, October 24 at La Riviera .
Big hits
But none of these three appreciable elepés of the second stage endure comparisons with those first five flashes of fury and ice . Although Francis himself, in an interview with The Independent a month ago, did not give it the slightest importance: «There are many other artists and many other albums to listen to - he said. You do not need to follow us if you think we are dead and that we are finished without a particular member. If you only like a certain period of a group, great. You don't have to like all your recordings ».
Be that as it may, the live repertoire of Pixies remains unbeatable (on this tour you are playing up to 40 songs at a rate that neither the Ramones) , thanks to a tremendous closet background dotted with hymns like Wave Of Mutilation , Where Is My Mind ? , Here Comes Your Man , Caribou , Monkey Gone To Heaven , Debaser or Head On , his classic version of The Jesus and Mary Chain. Like a hurricane, yes.
