Pixies

In October 2010, when the Pixies performed "Hey" live at Fazenda Maeda in Itu, Brazil, they were riding a wave of renewed interest after their reunion in 2004. This iconic band, known for their unique blend of punk rock and melodic pop, had just released an extended play titled **"Nude"** in 2014, which featured reimagined versions of songs from previous albums, showcasing their continued evolution. By this time, their influence on alternative rock was undeniable, with bands like Nirvana citing them as a major inspiration. Fun fact: during their performance, you could feel the excitement thrumming through the crowd—just the kind of electric atmosphere that fuels their shows! It's also notable that the Pixies often improvise during live sets, adding a spontaneous flair to their gigs, making each concert a one-of-a-kind experience. So, to see them in Brazil around this period was truly something special!
