Pixies

In 2013, when the Pixies performed "Velouria" live at L'Olympia in Paris, they were in a notable phase of their career marked by both resurgence and transition. Just a year prior, they released “EP1,” their first new material after a long hiatus, signaling a return to the music scene that had been largely dormant since their disbandment in 1993. The 2013 live concert also featured Kim Shattuck on bass and backing vocals, following the departure of founding bassist Kim Deal, which added an interesting twist to their lineup. This performance not only showcased their classic hits like “Velouria” but reflected the band’s ongoing evolution as they reestablished their presence in the alternative rock realm. It’s fascinating to think about how a band, once so seminal to the '90s sound, has managed to reinvent themselves while maintaining that captivating edge that fans love.
