The Pixies or KISS?

The pixies

Underground alt rock legends, The Pixies are currently playing a few shows in Dublin’s Olympia theatre. Kim Deal, Frank Black and the rest of em are treating fans to some serious hard hitting anthems, written by the pioneers of the grunge / generation X / jilted Generation folk.

Now, I just watched a video of their show last night on NME and it’s of them playing Debaser. Not a song I ever really liked and after watching that performance, not one that’ll convert me any time soon. The playing, singing and harmonies are all totally off and Kim Deal’s backing just sounds pointless. Frank is really the only thing holding it together and on top of all that, it has to be the most boring stage set up in the history of music.

You ask me The Pixies or KISS?
