Pixies

In 2011, when the Pixies took the stage at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee for their rousing rendition of "I Bleed," they were riding the waves of their 2004 album, "Indie Cindy." This marked a significant moment in their career, as it was their first full-length studio album since their initial breakup in 1993 and a long-awaited return after years of touring and releasing EPs. It was also a fresh start, showcasing their unique blend of punk energy and melodic hooks, which had always defined them. Interestingly, their live performances during this period were laden with a nostalgic yet electric atmosphere, as fans relished the chance to hear both classic hits and new material in the same set. This Milwaukee concert stands out not only for the performance itself but for signaling a rejuvenation of the band's creative spirit—a testament to their enduring influence in the alternative rock scene.
