The Pixies LIVE performing 'Silver' at Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium
Let’s take a trip back to 2011, a notable time for the legendary band Pixies. Before their electrifying live performance at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on November 21, they had released their EP "Pixies" just a few months earlier in September. This EP marked a strategic return to recording since their break and was known for the fresh sound that resonated with both old fans and newcomers alike. Interestingly, the Santa Cruz show was particularly special, as it was their first performance in that city – a testament to their enduring appeal and a nod to their broadening fanbase. As the crowd soaked in songs filled with that iconic blend of punk and alternative rock, it was clear that Pixies hadn’t lost their touch. The raw energy in the room that night? Pure magic! Their ability to captivate audiences, even years into their career, is a hallmark of their legacy. Could there be a better way to celebrate their rich history?
