The iconic Pixies braved January’s winter blizzard to travel to Water Music in Hoboken, NJ to record an acoustic performance exclusively for a Spotify Session.  Click HERE to check out the entire session, and click HERE to view a video clip of “Silver Snail” which was filmed during the performance.

The band – Black Francis (vocals, guitar), Joey Santiago (guitars), and David Lovering (drums) were joined by touring bassist Paz Lenchantin who played violin and sang background vocals, for a six song set comprised of four songs from Pixies just-released album, Indie Cindy, and two from the band’s 1987 debut, Come On Pilgrim.  Spotify also conducted a 13-track, exclusive Q&A with Pixies, where they discussed the new album, current global tour and much more.  The Spotify track listing includes:
Greens and Blues
Andro Queen
Caribou

  1. I saw a large banner ad on Spotify for the spotify sessions, and yet when I click it, it informs me this is not available for my region (USA). I am not sure why they would show me the ad though?
