Ivo Watts-Russell recalled: "I remember when I first heard Surfer Rosa thinking, 'I didn't know the Pixies could sound like The Fall.' That was my immediate reaction, in other words, incredibly raw." Gary Smith, who at the time was in a disagreement with the band, admitted he "was really happy that they had made such a forceful, aggressive, record." Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis, comparing the record to the later Pixies albums Bossanova and Trompe le Monde, said he thought that Steve Albini's production "sounded way better than the other ones." [53] The original 1987 UK release of Come On Pilgrim entered the UK indie album chart on October24,1987 ( 1987-10-24), spending 29 weeks on the chart and peaking at number 5. [16] The album received far more attention from the music press in the UK than in the United States, and was reviewed in Q Magazine, Sounds and NME. [17] [18] [19] For those who might complain about anniversary or retrospective tours being a poor attempt to recapture the spark of a time that is long since gone, one only need to take a cursory look towards the Pixies on stage to know they are one outfit bound to never fall into this category. Rather, they’re legends of the game, showing just why it is they’re the beloved figures they’ve come to be known as, and performing as if we were right there in the early days, watching the birth of greatness.

Grasping the mic stand between melodic lines and howling the lyrics with a ferocity not seen by many local supports, RVG undoubtedly drew a sizeable crowd, with cuts from their forthcoming record Feral being interspersed with their more well-known singles.

If ever there was a set that was bound to generate discussion and the ever-feared FOMO, this was it, with RVG easily one of the most vital bands on the Aussie scene today.

The Boston band debuted in 1988 with "Surfer Rosa," introducing its unique form of quiet-to-loud art-punk and, over the course of a few years, hit the college airwaves with such songs as "Gigantic," "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "Here Comes Your Man." By the time William Bradford died in 1657, he had already expressed anxiety that New England would soon be torn apart by violence. In 1675, Bradford’s predictions came true, in the form of King Philip’s War. (Philip was the English name of Metacomet, the son of Massasoit and leader of the Pokanokets since the early 1660s.) That conflict left some 5,000 inhabitants of New England dead, three quarters of those Native Americans. In terms of percentage of population killed, King Philip’s War was more than twice as costly as the American Civil War and seven times more so than the American Revolution. The Pilgrim Legacy in New England

After 11 years of separation, the Pixies reunited and went on tour, becoming one of a slew of ’80s and ’90s alternative bands lobbying for heritage status. Francis never fully reconciled with Deal, who played several of the reunion shows but opted out of recent recording sessions and has embarked on her own time-capsule show, touring Last Splash with the Breeders. Deal’s symbolic contributions were as important as her musical ones: The cool, down-to-earth woman who defused Francis’ showy angst. She had actually been fired between Doolittle and Bossanova and subsequently rehired, and on later Pixies albums appears just often enough to reminds you that she’s in the band.

The Pixies have now been reunited for four years longer than they were around to begin with, but are just getting around to releasing a new album, which they have called Indie Cindy. Worse than any of the music is the feeling that a band so deft at challenging the system has become part of it in the most predictable ways, rubbing together the tropes of their old art and hoping they can still start a fire, replacing experimentation with routine, filling Kim Deal’s place with not one but two different bassists over the last five months, breaking up the album into three EPs to gin up interest, and generally reminding us that artists of their stature are businesses, not charities. a b c "Surfer Rosa at AcclaimedMusic.net".
