Pixies

In April 2011, when the Pixies performed "Caribou" at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, they were riding high on a wave of nostalgia and creative resurgence. This live recording came about two years after the release of "Indie Cindy," their first studio album in over two decades, which dropped in 2014. It’s interesting to note that this period marked a significant chapter in their career. The band, often credited with laying the groundwork for alternative rock in the late '80s and early '90s, had reunited in 2004, and their tours revived interest in their earlier work. By 2011, fans were eager to hear both their classic hits and new material, blending their raw energy with more mature themes. Performing "Caribou," a fan favorite from their 1989 album "Doolittle," they were able to showcase the evolution of their sound while still capturing the wild spirit that first earned them fame. It was a pivotal moment of reconnecting with legendary roots and engaging a new generation of listeners.
