Pixies

Ah, the Pixies! What a whirlwind of sound and influence these guys have brought to the music scene. By the time they took the stage at the Eurockeennes festival in 2004, they were basking in the glow of their reformation, which had begun a few years earlier in 2004. Just before this live recording, they had released their fourth studio album, *Indie Cindy*, in 2014, marking their return after a long hiatus. But it's interesting to note that, at this particular performance in Roskilde, they were still deeply rooted in the alt-rock frenzy of their '80s and '90s heyday. This show features beloved tracks like "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "Where Is My Mind?", spotlighting the band's knack for blending noise with melodic hooks. It's a full-circle moment, really; you can hear how their experimental sound still resonates with fans, even decades later. Did you catch the energy in the crowd? It’s infectious. This performance reminds us that their legacy is as much about live performance as it is about recorded music—after all, that raw energy is what made the Pixies a cornerstone of alternative rock, don’t you think?
