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.

Snakes 0:49 In Heaven/Andro Queen 8:00 Green And Blues 17:07 Monkey Gone To Heaven 24:04

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.

man, that song Green and Blues is lovely

I just love Cheryl Waters! She seem,so nice

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!

Cheryl Waters does great interviews. This one no exception.

24:04 Monkey Gone To Heaven

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

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

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!

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

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

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

The Pixies are my favorite band of all time!!

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

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.

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! 🧚‍♂️🧚🧚‍♀️

Still relevant; one of the most important bands ever.

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.

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

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.

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

best band in existence.

Not my favorite Pixies tunes, but solid tunes, especially Snakes. I miss Kim as much as anyone but life goes on with Paz. I hope they keep writing tunes now

Paz was in APC and Zwan. she's alway great in all projects.

Paz !!

That host is so wonderful and she always does a GREAT job. Also a shout out for the KEXP sound Crew

Black Francis is a beautiful man.

These KEXP lives are just a bomb.. Dick Dale, All Them Witches and Pixies.. dear lord! I love them. I love the Pixies! So, so glad they're back and doing their 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

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

I love the interviewer lady!

Paz is such a versatile musician!

great performance. brings so many old memories back

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.

Greens & Blues is a truly great tune.

Green and Blues is becoming a favorite song of mine

These guys are 7

I wish I'd watched a live performance sooner.

Paaazzzz!!!!!

My favorite of this setbis absolutely snakes

Pixies are timeless and cheryl so calm and collected great questions very much a pro

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

I love them. Still the same old Picies to me. And it's great.

Sounds like they are writing these magic songs on the spot! Genius!

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

God bless KEXP... unless... Rock n Roll!

Greens and Blues is awesome. Andro Queen too. Pixies alive and well.

Paz, amor e empatia

These KEXP shows are always great! Thanks guys! I used to go to the Dentist tha’s right next door to you :)

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

Love this band so so much🩶

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

I’m so stoked

Black Francis is Hank Schrader

Incredible when played live.Very good

I love this version of snakes. Need to rip this to a CD.

my favorite band of all time

Funck PIXIES. MUCH LOVE TO PAZ

Just love Cheryl

Charles looks well, and not frustrated or dealing with akward band drama. That makes me happy to see. Also always like to listen to Cheryl's interviews with my favorite bands.

My God, I love this band

I love Kim but Frank, Joe and David are pretty much enough to say that it is still the Pixies...and they still rocks after so many years...

this is the one of the bands that made a big part of me! Its my fault, but they are the Pixies! simon

Thanks playing Andro Queen!

i miss kim, too, but i also recognize this as a new incarnation of the pixies - and a very interesting one - that reflects the difference you might expect in 20+ years..

one of the greatests bands ever? fck yeahhh

We need more Pixies on KEXP PLS !!!!

phenomenal

She is fucking awesome. Best ever.

Nice to see one of my heroes likes my accent the best . Cheers Frank.

Iv always loved these guys!

C'est un génie ce mec !

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

Love the Pixies, Paz is great!

I feel blessed

so professional

Perfection.

Most underrated alt rock band of the 90s

I saw them at the uptown theater in kc... omfg ehat a sick show... was in the pint that shit was nuts hella fun thoo

God, I love this band!

Que estiloooo pixiess, los amo mucho gracias por hacerme feliz

cada día mejor!! aunque extraño mucho a Kim... ansioso por volver a verlos en Argentina!

What Dave plays here looks like a child's drum kit, really loved it.

Yes I miss Kim too, but what an amazing addition Paz makes. Chemistry definately there...respect!

You don’t understand when they’re young that they’re musicians. But when they become older and more articulate, you realize, damn... they’re serious and talented

The gun club put into focus. The potential Jeff Pierce had, Frank delivers.

There's nothing like KEXP in the UK Fortunatley there is the internet to correct that :)
