  • Asphalt Orchestra Plays the Pixies: Surfer Rosa
    Sunday, July 28, 2013 - 6:30pm

    Lincoln Center Out of Doors, New York, NY

    Asphalt Orchestra returns to Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival, giving the world premiere of the new project ASPHALT ORCHESTRA PLAYS THE PIXIES: SURFER ROSA, honoring of the ground breaking album’s 25th anniversary.

    Screaming electric guitars transform into brass exhortations; a chorus of saxophones blare searing lyrics, and a lone piccolo shrieks feedback while a 3-piece percussion section thrashes and grooves. Taking the originals both literally and inspirationally, Asphalt Orchestra discovers a new direction for exhilarating acoustic music by paying tribute to a modern monument – legendary rock band the Pixies’ Surfer Rosa – for the album’s 25 anniversary.

    The Pixies released Surfer Rosa – the band’s first full-length record – in 1988. A cult hit when it was released, the album’s influence has grown to mammoth proportions over the years; it is now considered one of the most important recordings of its time.  Name-checked by Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, and PJ Harvey as a major influence, Surfer Rosa still sounds current today. With production by Steve Albini (who later produced In Utero and a host of other classic records), Surfer Rosa is raw, dirty, and utterly captivating.
