PIXIES Live Performance of U-Mass at Boston Calling 2015
In May 2015, when the Pixies took the stage at Boston Calling, they were riding the wave of their return after a lengthy hiatus. Just before this live performance, they had released their third album since their reunion, titled "Indie Cindy," in 2014. This album marked a significant moment for the band, showcasing their enduring legacy and ability to evolve with their sound while still retaining that signature Pixies edge. Interestingly, “Indie Cindy” was notable as it was their first full-length release without bassist and songwriter Kim Deal, a key figure in their classic lineup. This absence added an emotional layer for long-time fans, who often wondered how the band would navigate this new era. The Boston Calling performance at City Hall Plaza was a homecoming of sorts for the group, reminding everyone that despite changes, the Pixies' raw energy and iconic sound still resonate loudly with audiences.
