Pixies Live Performance of Monkey Gone To Heaven at The Paramount

Venue: The Paramount Location: Huntington, New York, United States Date: November 5, 2011

In November 2011, when Pixies performed "Monkey Gone to Heaven" live at The Paramount in Huntington, they were basking in the glow of their 2014 release, "Indie Cindy." This was significant because "Indie Cindy" marked their first studio album of new material since their breakup in the early '90s—talk about a comeback! Before this, their catalog primarily consisted of classic albums like "Doolittle" and "Surfer Rosa," both of which had solidified them as pioneers of alternative rock. What’s fascinating is how this live performance not only showcased their enduring energy but also highlighted their seamless ability to merge nostalgia with fresh creativity, proving that they hadn't lost touch with their roots. Fans at the concert got to experience that unique Pixies blend—raw emotion, dynamic sound, and the thrilling unpredictability that had defined their music from the get-go. Ain’t that what live music is all about?
