Pixies

In the vibrant summer of 2016, when the Pixies rocked the stage at the NOS Alive festival in Portugal, they were riding a wave of resurgence that began with their 2014 album "Indie Cindy". This was the first full-length release from the band in over 20 years, and it marked a significant return after their hiatus in the early 2000s. In a way, "Indie Cindy" served as a bridge connecting the classic Pixies sound of the late '80s and early '90s to a new generation of fans. The Lisbon show, featuring the track "Snakes," perfectly encapsulated the band's unique blend of punk rock and surreal lyrical storytelling, demonstrating their undying charisma and energy on stage. Fun fact: the band’s eclectic style continues to influence countless indie bands today, proving that their legacy is ever-relevant, even decades after their initial breakthrough. So, when you hear that raw, captivating sound in their live recording, you’re experiencing a mix of nostalgia and the thrill of their ongoing evolution.
