Hüsker Dü and the Pixies tributes on Thanksgiving

Lorna Perry has the skinny on a Thanksgiving tribute that’s bound to be just as satisfying as your Thanksgiving feast — though it’s probably a little less traditional.

Alternative music lovers know the timeline by heart. Before Nirvana, there was a smaller band called the Pixies. And before the Pixies, there was an even smaller band called Hüsker Dü. They could exist without one another, but where’s the fun in that? (Fun facts: Kurt Cobain once cited the Pixies as one of his greatest influences; back in the day, Black Francis placed a classified ad for a bassist with an affinity for Hüsker Dü. The universe does have meaning, see?)
