Pixies

In August 2009, during the bustling spirit of the Toronto Virgin Fest, the Pixies delivered a vibrant live performance that reminded fans of their eclectic and revolutionary sound. At this time, they were riding high on the waves created by their 2004 album "Indie Cindy," which marked their first studio release since their reunion in the early 2000s. Although the band's creativity had initially sparked with iconic albums like "Surfer Rosa" and "Doolittle" back in the late '80s and early '90s, this live recording reflects their ability to seamlessly bridge the past with their present. Interestingly, the song "Gigantic," performed during this set, highlights their unique blend of dynamic melodies and insightful lyricism that resonated beautifully with the audience. The band's chemistry and energy at the Molson Amphitheatre remind us just how enduring their influence remains—the kind of charm that, even after decades, still gets folks swaying and singing along.
