Pixies

In May 2015, when the Pixies played at The NorVa in Norfolk, they were riding the wave of their recent album, "Indie Cindy," released a year prior in April 2014. This marked a significant moment in their career as it was their first full-length studio album in over two decades following their breakup in 1993 and the release of "Trompe le Monde." "Indie Cindy" showcased a return to form, with the band experimenting while still holding onto their signature sound—those jangly guitars and eclectic lyrical themes that first drew fans in. Interestingly, this live recording captures the band in a period of reestablishment, post-reunion. The excitement of seeing the legendary group live, coupled with the anticipation around their new material, creates this electric atmosphere, reminding fans why the Pixies are often credited with influencing a whole generation of alternative rock bands. It’s a moment steeped in nostalgia and new beginnings all at once.
