A number of
tribute albums to the Pixies, an
American alternative rock band, have been recorded since the band's break-up in 1993. Artists featured on the albums range from American rock bands, such as
Weezer,
OK Go and
Eve 6, to lesser-known European bands. The first widely-released Pixies tribute album,
Death to the Pixies—We're Better!, was released in February 1998 as the result of a Pixies cover contest in
the Netherlands that was launched by the magazine Oor, the radio station
VPRO and the record label
Play It Again Sam.
