Pixies

In July 2014, when the Pixies took the stage at Château de Beauregard for their live performance of "Motorway to Roswell," they were riding high on the wave of renewed energy that came with their 2014 album, *Indie Cindy*. This album was a significant return for the band, marking their first collection of new material since their reunion in 2004 after a prolonged hiatus. Interestingly, *Indie Cindy* showcased a blend of old and new sounds—fuzzy guitars mixed with ethereal melodies that were signature Pixies but felt fresh for a new generation. It was during this era that the band not only revisited their iconic sound but also explored themes of alienation and surrealism, which can be seen in the very fabric of "Motorway to Roswell." As they rocked the festival crowd in France, the Pixies were not just delivering nostalgia but also signaling their commitment to evolve while honoring their roots. It was a magical moment, blending their past with an exciting present.
