Pixies

Ah, the Pixies—a band that’s like a brilliant flash of inspiration in the alternative rock scene! By June 5, 2004, when they performed at the Carling Academy Brixton, they were right in the midst of a remarkable resurgence. This live recording came just after the release of their 2004 album "Indie Cindy," their first full-length studio album in about 23 years, following the band's hiatus from 1993. It was a significant moment not just for the band but for their devoted fans, as they were eager to witness the return of this influential group. During this concert, audiences got to experience the raw energy and dynamic interplay that the Pixies are known for—think of that iconic blend of loud-quiet-loud that they mastered. Interestingly, after their reunion and this performance, the band went on to solidify their legacy with subsequent albums and tours, each time reminding fans why they fell in love with them in the first place. It’s incredible to think about how their unique sound continues to inspire new artists!
