Pixies
The Pixies Live Performance of Hey at Metropolis in Montreal
Before their live recording in Montreal on April 13, 2001, the Pixies were riding high on the waves of their influential album, *Doolittle*, which had been released back in 1989. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, weaving together eclectic influences and cryptic lyrics that pushed the boundaries of alternative rock. By the time of the Montreal concert, the Pixies were deep into their reunion tour after breaking up in 1993, which led to a rekindled interest in their classic catalog and the *Doolittle* era in particular. An interesting nugget to note is how their offbeat sound and dynamic stage presence became a blueprint for many bands that followed, establishing the Pixies as trailblazers in the indie rock scene. During the concert, fans were likely treated to that signature blend of distortion and melody, a reminder of how they shaped the sound of a generation. It's almost goosebumps-inducing to think about the nostalgic energy in the room, isn’t it?
