I could never understand why they weren't HUGE.

Amazing lyrics, crazy cadenced phrasing, on top of hard-driving rock-n-fucking roll.

[imiqbal]

Perhaps those are the reason they weren't "huge"? I understand tanzarian's comments, but the reality is that this band influenced several "huge" bands, which is one reason they weren't "pointless". When listening to the intro to 'Visible Cow", I've lost track how many bands use that dramatic, dynamic shift shift nowadays- these guys recorded that back in '93/'94. There are tons of elements like that in B-market songs that have bleed their way into contemporary pop music.

@ramonster1972 ha ha i still own my Pixies ticket from the Brixton Academy in London in Oct 1990...the support was Barkmarket. They rocked...it's now 20 years later and i now think that could've been the best gig i saw in my life

[ramonster1972]

I still own a concert ticket of them playing in Doornroosje Nijmegen back in 1994. One of the best concerts I ever saw, although only some people really appreciated this band at that venue. Frontman Dave Sardy was technical engineer of Slayer at the time. Great to see this video!

One great groove after another.

[samandjam]

The greatest band that never made it to the big time. Perhaps it's better that way. I feel like their music is appreciated by us lucky few. Oh well. Thanks gentlemen.
