Pixies

In June 2010, when the Pixies performed live at Le Zénith in Nantes, they were riding high on the wave of a significant reunion phase that began in 2004. By this time, they had released “Indie Cindy,” their first full studio album in over two decades, just a month prior to the concert, marking a compelling return to form. The energy captured in “Gigantic”—one of their earlier iconic tracks—reflects the band's unique blend of punk, rock, and a touch of surreal whimsy. Fans were thrilled not just to hear the new material, but also to dive into nostalgia, as songs like “Gigantic” had helped shape the alternative rock scene since the late '80s. It's interesting to note that despite their extended hiatus, the Pixies maintained an immense cult following, showcasing their powerful influence on generations of musicians. This live performance likely resonated deeply with fans, embodying both their storied past and renewed creative vigor.
