Pixies Live Performance of Gouge Away at Paradise, Boston 2005

Venue: Mullins Center Location: Amherst, Massachusetts, United States Date: November 30, 2004

The live recording of "Gouge Away" by the Pixies from November 30, 2004, offers a memorable glimpse into the band's resurgence after a lengthy hiatus. At that time, the Pixies had recently released their album "Indie Cindy" in 2014, but what's particularly fascinating is that their comeback tour in the early 2000s followed their well-regarded albums like "Doolittle," which originally dropped in 1989. From that earlier era, "Doolittle" is often hailed for its eclectic mix of surf rock, punk, and alternative sounds, influencing countless artists. This performance, showcasing their raw energy and innovative sound, came just before the band would officially reunite and hit the studio again. It's a testament to their lasting impact on the indie rock scene, reflecting not just nostalgia, but an exciting chapter in a band that just wouldn't quit! The buzz in the venue must’ve been electric, with fans reconnecting over the decades of music and memories.
