Pixies

In 2015, when the Pixies performed "Velouria" live at the Big Guava Festival in Tampa, they were riding high on the wave of their reunion and the release of their first post-reunion album, *Indie Cindy*, which came out in 2014. It was a moment of resurgence for the band, having reformed in 2004 after a decade-long hiatus, and they were eager to connect with fans old and new. “Velouria," originally from their 1989 album *Bossanova*, remains a beloved staple in their catalog, showcasing their signature blend of surreal lyrics and catchy melodies. This performance not only highlighted their enduring legacy but also marked a period of renewed creativity, as they were actively working on new material during this time, including tracks for their next album, *Head Carrier*, released in 2016. It’s fascinating how they still manage to pack that unique punch live, drawing in the crowd like a moth to a flame!
