Pixies

In 2004, when the Pixies graced the stage at the Festival des Eurockéennes in Belfort, they were riding the wave of their reunion era following their split in the early '90s. Just prior to this live recording, the band had released "Indie Cindy" in 2014—their first album in over two decades—marking a bold return to the music scene. While “Indie Cindy” referenced a fresh perspective on their iconic sound, the live shows of 2004 showcased the raw energy and punk-infused chaos that originally set them apart. Interestingly, this performance became a focal point for fans longing to relive the band's Spaghetti Western-inspired aesthetics—they’d conjure stories through dynamic soundscapes and surreal lyrics. This Festival des Eurockéennes concert wasn’t just a gig; it was a celebration of a band rediscovering their voice and connecting intensely with the audience, who had patiently waited for their return. The vibe was electric; you could feel the nostalgia mingling with excitement, couldn't you?
