Pixies Live at Le Zenith, Paris - Performing 'Rock Music'

Venue: Le Zénith Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France Date: November 23, 2016

In November 2016, when Pixies rocked Le Zénith in Paris, they were riding high on the wave created by their 2016 album, *Head Carrier*. This was a significant moment for the band, marking the shift after their reunion in 2004. Even though they had enjoyed a successful return with *Indie Cindy* in 2014, *Head Carrier* seemed to recapture some of that raw, electric energy that defined their earlier work. The live performance captures this spirit vividly, showcasing tracks that blend their trademark sound with a refreshed vigor. Interestingly, *Rock Music*, a punchy anthem featured on *Head Carrier*, highlights the band's knack for catchy hooks and layered soundscapes—the very elements that made them pioneers in the alt-rock scene. It's a celebration of their enduring legacy and evolution as artists. This concert in Paris wasn’t just another stop; it was a testament to how far they’ve come while still delivering that unmistakable Pixies punch, igniting the crowd and pulling everyone together in a shared moment of pure rock bliss.
