Pixies Live Performance of Bone Machine at T in the Park Festival

Venue: Balado Location: Kinross, Scotland, United Kingdom Date: July 11, 2004

In July 2004, when Pixies rocked the T in the Park festival in Kinross, Scotland, they were in the throes of a resurgence. This was part of their revival after reuniting in 2004, following an almost decade-long hiatus that began in 1993. Prior to this live recording, their last studio album, *Trompe le Monde*, had dropped way back in 1991. This gig marked a pivotal moment for the band—as they were returning to the stage and reigniting fan excitement. The atmosphere was electric; fans were thrilled to see the originals performing hits like "Bone Machine," a raw, pulsating track that captures the essence of their sound. Interestingly, the Pixies’ influence stretches deep within the alternative rock scene, inspiring countless artists. Their blend of surf rock rhythms with haunting melodies had a profound, lasting impact—something fans took to heart during their lively festival performance. It’s a perfect snapshot of the band, alive again, unearthing the magic of their earlier days while still looking ahead.
