Hey Pixies [Live]

Hey Pixies is a tribute act devoted to the music of the Pixies, presented at Hare & Hounds in Birmingham. The night brings the Pixies' indie rock catalogue to the stage in a live set.

Hey Pixies is a tribute band devoted to the Pixies, the American rock band formed in Boston in 1986. Hey Pixies began playing in 2015 and has since performed sold-out shows and festival appearances across the UK and Ireland. The group concentrates on the Pixies'discography, with the songs "Monkey Gone to Heaven", "Here Comes Your Man", "Debaser" and "Where Is My Mind?" among those named in the billing.

On stage, the set draws on more than 40 songs, which allows room for less familiar choices alongside the best-known tracks. The loud-quiet-loud dynamics of "Hey", "Gouge Away" and "Holiday Song" are central to the sound the act recreates. The performers do not dress up in costume; the focus is on reproducing the Pixies'music faithfully and with energy.

The evening suits listeners who already know the Pixies'catalogue and want to hear it played live. Hare & Hounds is a concert and performance venue in Birmingham, and this show is part of its programme of live music.
