one of the greatest fucking bands ever. nirvana may have never existed without them...which may or may not be a good thing.
the pixies are currently on tour along with the distillers, another awesome fucking band.

Get the pixiesmug. "That hipster kid thinks he's really cool because he likes the Pixies, but he doesn't know shit about music."

Get the pixiesmug. This isn't a very neutral or encyclopedic summation of the Pixies or their influence, but it's hard to write objectively about this band, perhaps one of the greatest alt. rock outfits ever to grace a stage, before the genre became just another mass-market joke.
Their music captivated not only what remains a fiercely loyal fan base, but a generation of musicians who sought to keep the flame alive when infighting drove the band to split in 1992. Perhaps the bar had been raised too high, because none of their successors, even those who achieved far more mainstream recognition, could quite match the quirky, catchy, enigmatic presence which still exists in those 15+ year-old recordings.
Thankfully, the Pixies are alive and well today after reuniting in 2004, though Frank Black was recently quoted as having disavowed any plans to ever record again with the group.

1. From the first time I heard "Monkey Gone to Heaven", the Pixies became my favorite band.
2. Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" might say that the Pixies' music is "gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh."
