Pixies

By September 30, 2013, when the Pixies performed live at L'Olympia in Paris, they had recently released their EP "EP-1" in 2013, marking their first new material in more than two decades since their split in the early '90s. This comeback was thrilling for fans, igniting buzz about the band's resurgence. Interestingly, this performance featured Kim Shattuck from The Muffs on bass, stepping in for bassist Kim Deal, who had left the group earlier that year. Having Shattuck in the lineup added a fresh dynamic to their sound, blending her punk roots with the Pixies’ signature alternative rock. The show captured a raw energy, especially during classics like "Where Is My Mind?". This revitalization of the band’s legacy, by navigating both nostalgia and newness, highlighted their enduring influence in the music scene. The excitement in the crowd that night reflected how Pixies, even after all these years, could still command attention and evoke deep emotional connections with their music.
