Pixies

In the summer of 2016, the Pixies were basking in the glow of their resurgence, fueled by their 2014 release, "Indie Cindy." This album marked their first since reuniting in 2004, and it was a significant moment for the band, exploring a blend of their classic sound with fresh ideas. The live recording of "Levitate Me" from the NOS Alive Festival in Portugal captures the raw energy that has always made the Pixies a standout act in the alternative rock scene. What’s particularly interesting is that this performance showcases a track from their earlier EP, "Come On Pilgrim," which was released way back in 1987. This live rendition highlights not just their enduring legacy, but also their ability to connect with both longtime fans and newer audiences. The juxtaposition of older hits with more recent material at shows like this one reinforces their status as trailblazers, continually bridging the gap between nostalgia and new musical horizons.
