Black Francis
Pixies performance at Lollapalooza 2014, Hipódromo de San Isidro, San Isidro, Argentina
Pixies are a band who shaped the sound of Alternative Rock. Having sold just under 2 million albums worldwide, they are among rock music's greatest pioneers. Single-handedly spawning the grunge movement of the 1990s, their unique mix of punk, pop and surf rock inspired an entire generation of musicians, and embodied 90's alternative Rock. After splitting acrimoniously in 1992, they reformed in 2004 to wide acclaim. They're captured here from BBC's Maida Vale studios in London.

Live complete set filmed in 1988 when the band supported Throwing Muses at London's Town And Country Club (with choice of stereo or 5.1 soundtrack, running time approx. 50 minutes).
