Pixies

Pixies are an American alternative rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1986, blending indie rock, noise pop and surf-punk influences. Their music is characterised by loud-quiet-loud dynamics, abrasive guitar textures, surreal lyrical imagery and abrupt song structures; they split in the early 1990s and reunited in the 2000s, and their approach influenced the development of 1990s alternative rock.
