Pixies Performance of Gigantic in Adelaide, Australia
By 2007, the Pixies were riding a wave of renewed interest following their reunion in 2004, which sparked a resurgence in their career. The live recording from their performance in Adelaide during this period is particularly significant, happening shortly after the release of “Indie Cindy” in 2014, their first new album in over two decades. While that album came later, it’s fascinating to note they were primarily focused on touring and reconnecting with their fan base around the time of this 2007 gig. The Pixies showcased their iconic blend of punk rock energy and surreal lyrics. Their live performances during this era were a beautiful reminder of why they had such a lasting influence on alternative rock, even inspiring a new generation of bands. This Adelaide show captured the electric atmosphere that’s a hallmark of their concerts, underlining their enduring appeal and the palpable excitement of fans reliving classics like "Gigantic." It’s no wonder that moments from this time resonate so powerfully!
