Pixies - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

This woman who is interviewing them is fucking smart. Incredible, actually. She is asking the exact right questions and doing so effortlessly.

The Pixie's are one of those bands that are just TOO fucking good. their songs are some of the finest tunes ever written. Their Albums should be handed out in schools and hospitals.

Three masterclasses in this video: Cheryl on interviewing, the Pixies on songwriting, and the sound engineer on making it all sound awesome.

man, that song Green and Blues is lovely

Cheryl Waters does great interviews. This one no exception.

When I hear Pixies' music I'm in heaven.

I really like what the violin adds to the sound. I think she is a great fit for the band. Yay! I can't wait to see them in the summer!

Thank you KEXP for continuing to bring bands like the Pixies us.

I just love Cheryl Waters! She seem,so nice

You know I was not sure what would happen to the Pixies when Kim Deal left… but listening to Paz play the violin on Green and Blues she's adding to their sound. The violin really fits well with Joey's guitar playing and the two sounds compliment each other. Paz is the right person to replace Kim just to add an unknown dimension to the Pixies sound. I thought Kim was awesome in the Pixies but the music is getting interesting again with Paz bringing some new sound in!

i know i'm super late to the party, but i've been really getting into the pixies as of late. much respect to kim (both), also loving the energy paz is bringing to the band. good stuff

2:23 Joey making sure there's not a snake up against his leg...

The addition of Paz is like a rebirth for this band. I really enjoy her violin playing and it brings a new sound and depth to these new songs. Brilliant! I didn’t think it was possible to revive their career. But this is the second chapter after Kim left. She left a big hole in their sound because she had great harmonies with Francis. But now this is the next phase for this group and they sound great! I’m so happy for them! The late great Bowie praised the Pixies in a documentary. He said they were the best American band because of the songs. He even covered one of their songs in concert. That is high praise! And everyone knows the story of Nirvana and that Cobain said he was trying to sound like the Pixies when he wrote Teen Spirit. Long Live the Pixies! 🧚‍♂️🧚🧚‍♀️

The Pixies are my favorite band of all time!!

Saw them in concert in '92 sounded amazing... saw them again in '19 sounded just as amazing... these guys are the real deal.

24:04 Monkey Gone To Heaven

Thank you KEXP. With the extinction of our "Local Record Stores", it's not easy to find good music. Inviting great bands to play live is the next best thing.

Love all the versions that they played in a reserved manner , revising the song into studio style that feel like they play in living room with family and friends

Brilliant session - The Pixies have been one of my favorite bands for many years, great to see them doing new things in a new direction rather than more of the same.

I love the production quality of these performances. My God...that camera work...and editing and engineering...outstanding.

Still relevant; one of the most important bands ever.

Legendary band and I am happy to watch a set 5x as long

great performance. brings so many old memories back

best band in existence.

Fantastic interview with intelligent questions. Thank you for sharing, this is awesome.

Greens & Blues is a truly great tune.

I love the interviewer lady!

Paz is such a versatile musician!

It's Lovely and amazing how Charles talks, like theatral, so spontaneous and relaxed, like sculpting sofltly the ideas that he have in his mind for everyone around to show their inside.

These guys are 7

hopefully I'll be seeing these guys live next year for the first time. I can't wait

I’m so stoked

I am very happy to see this band and thank you for the uploading!!! I am 50 and they are a great band and they also have good omour!

Paz, amor e empatia

Frank and his wife owned a bar we used to play at all the time. I lived right across the street from it and would go there and just slowly drink beers when I was bored. Never knowing the bald dude that was there from time to time sitting quietly by himself ( until I struck up convo and learned his name) was fuckin Frank Black of the Pixies. Back then, all I had was a couple old pixies LPs. RU-vid didn’t exist and the band wasn’t touring. So I had no idea that is who he was until much later after the fact. I just knew of a guy I chatted with named Frank who owned a bar. And, wrote some of the most iconic songs of my youth. Thanks for telling me dude! It’s not like I would have been suckin your farts. It was a musical town. Everyone played in GREAT bands. That bar was called Tiny Tavern. In Eugene Oregon on Blair street. Next to one of the all time greatest punk venues (Ickys) that ever existed in a time when all bands were just, GOOD. Wonder if that bar is there still and if he still owns it....or if it sits as a quiet unknown landmark.

Thanks :)

Pixies are leyend!

Wowwwww. love it

Good stuff

17:10 G and B , emotive song, paz amazing!

good on you pixies. long time fan. I love how your songs are so simply constructed, but just fucking work. e.g bass line playing low notes of a similar chord. IAnd PAZ! I'm a massive PAZ fan. GO PAZ

I'm so excited to see the Pixies this summer! There's some dusty stuff in my eyeholes.

Happy 50th Birthday Black Francis

Black Francis is a mad genius. I would love to talk with him about UFOs, extraterrestrials, and time travel.

Bless her the interviewer seems totally star struck like she's just keeping it together, I can't blame her.

Love Frank Black solo! Was depressed when Pixies reunited. Hurry up and break up again already!

C'est un génie ce mec !
