Pixies

When Pixies took the stage at the Hollywood Palladium on November 5, 2009, they were mid-tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic album "Doolittle." This performance formed part of a larger reunion for the band after their initial breakup in 1993, which is pretty fascinating. Fans were treated to a setlist filled with tracks from the legendary record, showcasing just how much the band had re-emerged and regained their footing in the alt-rock scene. The buzz around their return was massive, as they not only revisited their earlier hits but also explored newer material, reminding everyone why they’ve remained influential in alternative music. Interestingly, this tour was a pivotal moment for Pixies, as it allowed them to reconnect with their hardcore fanbase while drawing in newer fans who had come to appreciate their unique sound. Still, you’ve got to wonder—did they realize then just how much their music would continue to resonate in the decades that followed?
