Pixies

In July 2006, when Pixies took the stage at the Paleo Festival in Nyon, Switzerland, they were riding high on the wave of their reunion, which began in 2004. Just two years before this live performance, they had released "Indie Cindy," their first studio album in over two decades. Although the initial reception was mixed, it showcased their unique, dynamic style that had managed to endure through the years. This period marked a significant resurgence for the band, who had influenced countless bands in the alternative rock scene since their formation in 1986. Fans were eager to relive classics like “Where Is My Mind?” as they watched the band breathe life into their iconic sound. Interestingly, this live recording not only reflects their renewed vigor and the infectious energy of the festival scene but also symbolized a reconnection with both dedicated long-time fans and a new generation discovering Pixies for the first time. What a powerful moment in music, isn’t it?
