Pixies

In February 2013, when Black Francis delivered a captivating rendition of "Wave of Mutilation" at Mercy Lounge in Nashville, Pixies were basking in the glow of a revitalized career following their reformation in 2004. Leading up to this live recording, they had released “Indie Cindy” in 2014, marking their first album in over two decades since the band's highly influential period in the late '80s and early '90s. Interestingly, “Indie Cindy” was not only a return to form but also a testament to their ability to innovate while staying true to that distinctive blend of raw energy and surreal lyrics that made them icons in the alternative rock scene. The Nashville gig was part of a tour that showcased not just their classic hits but also hinted at their evolving sound, bridging nostalgia with fresh creativity. It’s a moment that captures both the past and future of the band, reflecting their enduring impact and the excitement of their live performances.
