Way Back Play Back Tuesdays - The Pixies

Back in 1986 hair metal was still in full effect. Girls and boys alike had their hair teased and their lips red just to look like their favorite flamboyant rock star. Luckily for society hair metal was just a passing phase and grunge came to captured (and save) the hearts of millions in the mid-90's. But grunge started long before that, it started to take shape in the midst of face melting guitar solos and high pitched squeals. The birth place of grunge happened in Boston in the apartment of a budding bassist known as Kim Deal. The Pixies would gather a cult following for years after their debut, but never achieved the mainstream success that they had coming. 7 years later, frequent arguing and lack of interest in the band forced them to split up, right before grunge took it's wings and became main stream. In 2004 The Pixies came back with a reunion tour that saw them sell out massive arena's all over the world. Long Live the Pixies.
