In August 2005, when Pixies played live at Rock En Seine in Paris, they were well into their second act, post-reunion. This performance fell a few years after the 2004 release of “Indie Cindy,” their first full-length album in over a decade. The anticipation surrounding the band’s comeback was electric, stemming from their influential legacy that bridged grunge and alternative rock. Notably, the 2005 show included an array of classic tracks, such as “Wave of Mutilation,” showcasing their knack for blending catchy melodies with quirky lyrics. This era was not just about nostalgia; it was a powerful resurgence for a group that had an undeniable impact on the '90s music scene, and performances like this solidified their cult status. Fans cherished this period, as they were eager to see how the band would breathe new life into their beloved sound. Can you feel that iconic energy in the air? It’s a thrill that resonates even today!
