Pixies

In April 2011, when Pixies performed "Mr. Grieves" at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, they were in the midst of their reunion phase, which began in 2004. This live recording comes shortly after the release of their 2014 EP, "EP-1," marking a beautiful resurgence of their iconic sound that dares to blend the surreal with the catchy. Prior to this, they had also released "Indie Cindy" in 2014, which was their first full-length album in over two decades. Interestingly, the band had carved out a significant legacy influences on genres like alternative rock and grunge, inspiring artists from Nirvana to Radiohead. Their dynamic live performances, like this Milwaukee show, often evoke a sense of nostalgia while showcasing the raw energy that they perfected in the late '80s and early '90s, creating a connection with both diehard fans and new listeners. It's a testament to their timelessness in the music scene, wouldn't you say?
