Everyone talks like the Pixies came out of nowhere. Actually, the Violent Femmes were doing a lot of that tough rhythmic acoustic sound before them. Even less known and even earlier are The Bongos. These folks were going in the very early 80s, did lots of gigs with REM. They share that rich enigmatic vibe but have more of a post-punk angularity, a dash of Talking Heads or Gang Of Four type thing. As teenage American indie kids, Pixies will have been well aware of Bongos. On this track, pay attention from 0:50 for 30 seconds or so. That acoustic driven staccato bark is so Pixies that it shocks. https://youtube/watch?v=E-0ukoYwnwI
