The Pixies are examining their success and how it’s endured and evolved over the decades.

In a new interview, the band was asked about their enduring career and said they attribute it to younger people finding out about Pixies through the bands they supposedly influenced.

Drummer David Lovering explained, “Our shows are now mainly filled young kids in the front row that weren’t even born when we were initially a band. I feel very fortunate about it. I look up at these young kids not only know the old material, but the new stuff too. And then you have the old people like me at the back, by the bar, going, ‘I want to hear the old stuff!’. I always say that we’re The Grateful Dead of alternative rock. It’s great. We’re very fortunate.”
