Concert Review: Pixx Is A Proud Alien At Elsewhere
Sometimes, I feel like I am an alien, and even imagine, in my head, what it would be like to see the world from the eyes of someone that, literally, did not belong in it. While we have all, sadly, felt like we don’t belong on this earth, Pixx makes that feeling seem unbelievably cool. For her, belonging to a world that does not hold itself accountable to its wrongs, aim to do the hard work it takes to change for the better, or simply make joy its first priority is NOT a world to belong to. At Elsewhere, she made another world, her world, and she had not problem living in it.
Your life is, literally, your life, and when you think of all the times you put yourself down or changed the best path do you because of someone else, you might see that you have been living a double life. One that is divided between how you want to see things versus how you actually do. Thus, her symphonic rock warped through the genre to create a new sound that was both cosmic and guttural. She puts the “alien” in alienation and becomes more than an artist because of it. She was a being of music with the potential to truly drive her sound and style into a defining persona.
Pixx – Eruption 24 (Lyric Video)
To her crowd, Pixx’s voice, personality, and presence was emblematic. It was as if it was woven into the tiny, glittering stars on her sheer dress were the crowd’s memories of every time they were “the other:” the “third wheel” in a duo, the most silenced one in a class or work meeting, the partner in a relationship going through “the motions” of their partnership. “Small Mercies,” “Funsize,” “Bitch,” and “Hysterical” were just a few of the tracks that had Pixx shaping and scraping her voice like a knee hitting concrete. This might seem like a gory image, but Pixx’s voice feels raw and thermally pained. She aims for the small wounds that define us like, walking, every day, down a hallway with no friends. It could drive you mad or, in her case, creative. For More Information On Pixx Click Here
