Pixies

In August 2014, when Pixies took the stage at the Summer Sonic festival in Osaka, they were riding a wave of renewed acclaim after their long hiatus. They had just released their fourth studio album, "Indie Cindy," in April of the same year, marking their first new material since their split in 1993. The live performance of "Where Is My Mind?"—a signature track from their iconic 1988 album "Surfer Rosa"—was a highlight of the festival, showcasing the band’s prowess in blending raw energy with melodic reverie. Interestingly, despite being known for their distinct sound, the Pixies had shifted their approach, embracing both nostalgia and modernity in their setlist, reflecting their journey through the alternative rock scene. The adrenaline of live performances in such vibrant settings seems to breathe new life into their already timeless classics, don't you think?
