Pixies

In 2011, when Pixies took the stage at TCU Place in Saskatoon, they were well into their career reboot, having reunited in 2004 after a decade-long hiatus. Around this time, they were riding the wave of nostalgia blended with contemporary relevance, as their 2014 album "Indie Cindy" had already been released a few years later. During this performance, audiences were treated to a mix of classic tracks and fresh tunes, showcasing the band's enduring appeal. Interesting tidbit: the Pixies' sound, a unique blend of punk energy and surf rock melodies, has influenced countless artists. Yet here they were, still captivating crowds with their raw and energetic live shows. Can you imagine the ambiance? A venue packed with fans, electrifying riffs bouncing off the walls, and Black Francis's unmistakable voice weaving through a setlist that pays homage to both past and present. It was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of their musical legacy.
