Doolittle
Tribute concert Doolittle performs at Musicon in The Hague. The Belgian band brings the Pixies repertoire to the stage out of genuine admiration, focusing on the raw energy that makes Pixies music so distinctive.
Doolittle homes in on what made Pixies great: searing guitars, vocals that shift from a whisper to a scream and the band's trademark loud-quiet-loud dynamic. The Belgian band deliberately opts for an approach free of gimmicks. No theatrical tricks, just a straightforward musical performance in which the emotion, creativity and idiosyncrasy of the songs take centre stage. From 'Debaser' to 'Where Is My Mind?', the Pixies catalogue gets the full treatment.
Doolittle in The Hague
The band approaches the music through admiration rather than nostalgia, and you can tell the difference: every song gets the intensity it deserves, without resorting to note-perfect imitation or crowd-pleasing stunts. The result is a live tribute to a band whose unconventional approach secured its place in the history of alternative rock.
