Pixies

On September 20, 2010, Pixies performed live at the Verizon Wireless Theater in Houston, a pivotal moment that echoed their resurgence. By this time, the band had already released "Doolittle" and "Surfer Rosa," establishing themselves as alternative rock legends. However, they had only recently returned to the scene after a hiatus, with a new album, "Indie Cindy," dropping in 2014 — which means this performance was during a phase when fans were eagerly revisiting classic tunes. It's fascinating to think about how their sound, a mix of avant-garde noise and melodic hooks, influenced countless artists in the years since. The energy of that Houston crowd must have been electric, as they welcomed back a band that had, for many, defined their youth and pushed the boundaries of rock music. This era of the Pixies served not just as a revival, but as a celebration of their enduring legacy.
