Pixies

In June 2010, when The Pixies took the stage at the Pinkpop Festival, they were riding a wave of reverberated nostalgia and renewed vigor. This performance came after the release of their EP *Pixies* (2004) and the album *Indie Cindy* (2014), which marked their first full studio album in more than two decades. Interestingly, this revival followed their reunion in 2004, where fans of the band were eagerly anticipating old hits along with new sounds. The festival crowd got a sweet taste of “Wave of Mutilation,” a track that epitomizes the band's surreal yet catchy style. What’s captivating is how, despite not releasing a fresh album immediately before the Pinkpop gig, their music’s influence saw an indie renaissance that kept the audience entranced. Can you imagine how electrifying it must’ve felt to witness those iconic riffs live, as they blended the past with the present in that vibrant atmosphere? It's reminiscent of how music can bridge generations, don't you think?
