Are they the most influential rock band of the last 30 years?

It's impossible to not hear the Pixies' influence in everything from Nirvana, Weezer, and Alice in Chains to the White Stripes, the Killers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more.

Thirty years after releasing Santa Rosa, which ushered in the alternative rock sound that defined a generation, the Pixies are headed to Bend and the Les Schwab Amphitheater for their only Oregon show of 2018.
