Pixies

In September 2010, when the Pixies graced the iconic Ryman Auditorium stage, they were riding a wave of nostalgia and renewed relevance after their big reunion in 2004. Coincidentally, they had just released the EP "Deranged," which was a fun nod to their storied past, marking a savvy blend of old-school charm with modern sensibilities. "Here Comes Your Man"—the song featured in the live recording—demonstrates their knack for mixing pop hooks with eclectic sounds, a hallmark of their enduring appeal. This performance at the Ryman, a venue steeped in musical history, was part of their ongoing effort to reconnect with fans while also capturing a new audience. It’s wild to think that a band which formed in 1986 could still create such palpable excitement years later, isn’t it? Their ability to transcend time and trends is a testament to their undeniable impact on alternative rock.
