Pixies at El Rey Theatre | Los Angeles, California | 9/9/2013 & 9/10/2013 (Concert Review)

September 11, 2013 by Jason DeBord 7 Comments

The-Pixies-El-Rey-Theatre-September-2013-Tour-Concert-Review-Live-Photos-New-Los-Angeles-FI

2013 is maybe the best year since the early 90s to be a Pixies fan.  Interestingly, having been in attendance now at the first two of three consecutive shows this week at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles (and a fourth coming right after at the Mayan Theatre), the crowd overall skewed very young, which really underscores my long held belief that the Pixies were way, way, way ahead of their time, and also had bad timing (maybe in an alternate universe they could have had Nirvana-sized mainstream success).  In any event, as I’ve often referenced in countless articles here on the Rock Subculture Journal, the Pixies are solid in my Top Three favorite artists of all time.  Before going into recent and ancient history, the big question those reading this are probably wondering is, ‘how were these shows?‘  The short answer is, absolutely phenomenal.  Everything one could hope for in a Pixies concert has been present in Night 1 and Night 2.  With their new touring efforts and new music (music that is on par with their classic material), it is an awesome time to be into the Pixies, whether you were around back in the day or not.  A time to celebrate, and the band and the fans all brought the party to El Rey Theatre this week.
