Pixies formed in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts, and break-up after five excellent albums. 11 Years later Pixies got together and In April 13, 2004 Pixies played their first reunion concert at The Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also, they started a tour the same year and spend most of it playing throughout Brazil, Europe, Japan, and the U.S.

Today "Escucho, Luego Existo" brings a version of "Silent Night" a popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics of the song Stille Nacht were written in German by the priest Father Josef Mohr and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber. In 1987 the Argentinian band "Sumo" recorded a Version Called "Noche De Paz" within their last album "After Chabon"

Maybe it is not the best introduction to one of the best bands ever "Sumo" but it a very good way to kick off the holydays, I think.

The Violent Femmes, formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1980, is a three-piece American folk punk band. Singer, guitarist and songwriter Gordon Gano, bassist Brian Ritchie, and two drummers, the founder Victor DeLorenzo (1980 – 1993) and Guy Hoffman who replaced DeLorenzo in 1993.

They were discovered by James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) on August 23, 1981, when the band was busking on a street corner in front of the Oriental Theatre, the Milwaukee venue where The Pretenders would be playing later that night. Chrissie Hynde invited them to play a brief acoustic set after the opening act. The band signed to Slash Records and released a self-titled album that they had recorded in July 1982.

Today “Escucho Luego Existo” brings the track “Don't Start Me On The Liquor” from their 1994’s album “New Times” Enjoy!
