Pixies

In the vibrant ebb and flow of Pixies' career, their live performance of "Silver Snail" at L'Olympia in Paris on September 29, 2013, marked a significant moment. This gig came on the heels of their 2014 album, *Indie Cindy*, which was their first release in over two decades. It's wild to think about how much had transpired since their last studio effort—*Trompe le Monde*, released in 1991. Fans at that Paris show were treated to a mix of old favorites and fresh tracks. Interestingly, that night was especially bittersweet, as it represented Pixies' triumphant return to a beloved venue, echoing their earlier punk ethos while demonstrating their evolution. The raw energy in the crowd must have resonated with the band, a reminder of their undying impact on alternative rock. Their ability to command the stage, even after years apart, really underscores how timeless their sound is. Who doesn’t love that blend of nostalgia and newness?
