Pixies

In 2009, when the Pixies took the stage at the Molson Amphitheatre for their live performance of "Tame" at VFest, they were in the midst of a remarkable renaissance. Reunited in 2004 after a breakup in the late '90s, they had just released their first studio album in over a decade, "Indie Cindy," which dropped in 2014. With their iconic blend of alternative rock, the band showcased a powerful return to form, reminding fans why they became influencers in the '90s grunge scene. Their live show exuded energy and rawness that captivated the audience, echoing their early days while simultaneously celebrating their evolved sound. Interestingly, "Tame" captures that signature mix of loud-quiet dynamics, and witnessing it live at such a vibrant festival illustrated their enduring appeal. It's a moment that highlights both nostalgia and the excitement of a band returning with more stories to tell.
