We brief you on what you need to know about L.A. today.
Nearly 30 years ago, four musicians in Boston Massachusetts came together and formed a band called The Pixies. Their sound was rough and edgy and many have called the band a pivotal force in the world of alternative rock.
In 1991 they released the album Trompe Le Monde, which was adored by critics and fans alike, but there was no follow-up... until now.
"Indie Cindy" is the Pixies's new studio album and they'll soon take the stage at the Hollywood Bowl.
Guitarist Joey Santiago and Drummer David Lovering join Alex in the studio to talk about their latest work.
