Big Digits Perform Gigantic (Pixies Cover) Live at the Roxy Boston
In November 2008, when the live recording of “Gigantic” was performed by Big Digits at the Boston Music Awards, Pixies were riding high on the waves of their legendary status, particularly following the release of their 2004 album *Indie Cindy*. This album marked a significant comeback for the band, as it was their first collection of new material in over a decade and was met with mixed reviews. What’s fascinating is that *Indie Cindy* showcased their classic blend of surreal lyrics, dynamic shifts, and that unmistakable blend of punk and pop that fans had come to adore. At the time of this performance, Pixies were celebrating a resurgence in popularity, hitting the road frequently and revitalizing their fanbase. The choice of "Gigantic"—a staple from their iconic 1988 debut *Surfer Rosa*—is a testament to their legacy and influence, making it a fitting tribute during a ceremony honoring musical talent in Boston, where their indie rock roots thrived.
