“I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies,” Kurt Cobain once told Rolling Stone. That’s a pretty massive tribute, one that loudQUIETloud, a documentary about the Pixies’ reunion tour, wisely leads with. The DVD is available for purchase now, but if you’d like to get an idea of what it’s all about, why not watch it? There are worse ways to spend your Friday at work. Just don’t tell your boss it was our fault.

The Pixes, along w/ Janes Addiction & Sonic Youth, were the catalyst that triggered the 90's alternative scene. The Pixes wrote the book on what being underground (& cool) meant before college music became grunge & before $50 Chuck's, flannel & Fender Jaguars became the new cool.
loudQUITEloud rebirth of the Pixies in 2004 shows the substance that helped create alternative rock.
The reality of a metal and magic drummer along side a rehabed bassist shows how quickly an industry can forget what fans never grow old for in music.
