Pixies

In April 2004, during a vibrant resurgence in their career, the Pixies were riding high on the wave of their long-awaited reunion. Just prior to the live recording at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, they had released the EP *"Bam Thwok,"* a raw, energetic collection that showcased their iconic sound while hinting at a return to form. This period was such a pivotal moment for the band, as it marked both their comeback and a reconnection with their devoted fan base after a long hiatus since their disbandment in 1993. Fun fact: the Pixies had previously influenced a whole generation of alternative rock bands, with their dynamic blend of noise rock, punk, and surreal lyrics sparking creativity. Their live shows, known for their electric energy, were a celebration of this rebirth, drawing old fans and new listeners alike into the fold, proving that some bands just can't stay away for too long!
