Pixies

In June 2009, at the Isle of Wight Festival, Pixies delivered a captivating performance of "Monkeys Gone to Heaven," a standout track from their iconic 1989 album, *Doolittle*. This festival marked one of the band's notable live appearances after their reunion in 2004, during which they reignited their influence on alternative rock. At this point in their career, the Pixies were riding a wave of renewed interest, having just released *The Pixies' Complete ‘Come On Pilgrim’ / *Surfer Rosa* in 2009—a remastered compilation that introduced their early work to a new generation. Interestingly, during the Isle of Wight performance, the raw energy and unconventional sound that the band is known for resonated deeply with fans, proving that even after years apart, their music continued to capture hearts. The enduring legacy of the Pixies, especially with tracks like "Monkeys Gone to Heaven," showcases their unparalleled ability to blend surreal lyricism with irresistible melodies.
