Pixies

In the whirlwind of their career, the Pixies were riding high on the wave of their resurgence during the late 2000s. By the time "Broken Face" was performed live in November 2009, the band had just released "Dolittle," a pivotal album that solidified their influence in alt-rock. It was also noteworthy that they had reunited in 2004 after a lengthy hiatus, rekindling their signature sound that mixed surreal lyrics with a blend of punk and surf rock. This live performance, which showcased their raw energy and unique dynamics, was part of a broader European tour that celebrated their newfound momentum in the music world. With "Broken Face" being a staple of their early catalog, hearing it live during such a vibrant era underscored the band's enduring impact and their loyal fanbase, who had eagerly awaited their return to the stage. It’s a fascinating reminder of how the Pixies continue to shape the landscape of alternative music!
