Pixies - Live Performance of The Holiday Song and Nimrod's Son at Olympia, Paris
In September 2013, when the Pixies rocked the stage at L'Olympia in Paris, they were riding a wave of resurgence after their reunion in 2004. They had just released "Indie Cindy" earlier that year, which marked their first studio album in over two decades—a significant moment for the iconic band known for their unique blend of surf rock and punk. Interestingly, the performance featured songs from their debut EP, "Come On Pilgrim," showcasing their signature sound that captivated audiences. This live recording is a delightful nod to their roots, reminding fans of the raw energy and quirkiness that originally set them apart in the '80s alternative scene. It’s like a reunion of nostalgia and fresh material, drawing both long-time fans and newcomers alike into their captivating universe. Plus, who can resist the vibrant atmosphere of Paris as a backdrop for such a momentous occasion? It truly felt like magic in the air!
