On Oct. 25 Pixies released “The Night the Zombies Came,” which feels like a monster mash that combines some of the band’s iconic sound and lyrical storytelling.

Pixies raise the dead with eerie rocking melodies

By Sheelagh Doe, Staff Writer October 30, 2024
Pixies has come back to haunt October with their spooky spectacular ninth studio album “The Night the Zombies Came.” The album holds a theme of horror with stories of zombies, hypnosis and being chased from the perspective of a decapitated chicken. The band has been long known for its imprint on rock music in the 1980s and early 1990s, but as of March this year, its bassist Paz Lenchantin left the group and fans have been eager to hear what the band’s new sound will be. Emma Richardson, the new bassist, pulls through with her smooth vocals on various tracks in the new album. Bass lines are the glue to any song and Richardson proves her ability to keep up with the large shoes left for her to fill, while also adding her own style.
Super Hearts Day Nerf War took place from 7 to 10 p.m. Feb. 12 and was the Human vs. Zombies Social Club’s first event of the semester.
