Growing up listening to music in the 90s The Pixies were a band you would get around to listening to at some point or another. The reason being that every other band cited the Pixies as an influence at some point so you kind of had to see what the fuss was about, Nirvana being one of the biggest groups paying homage to the band. I eventually got around to listening to them when I picked up Bossanova for a fiver whilst browsing a HMV sale.
