The stories are always different. Everyone has their own version of how they ended up where they are. Its one of the fascinating things that we experience while we're alive. David Lovering loved the drums, got lessons and eventually started playing in a band. Everything was great until it wasn't. The band broke up and David was left thinking that was that. That band was Pixies or how everyone else calls the band "The Pixies." Things happen and you can sit on your butt wondering how or you can dive into the next phase of life, and David found a love for magic. He studied and learned how to be a magician and eventually started to do magic shows. As the story goes, the band got back together, David dusted off the drums and got back to playing to massive crowds. The band is back recording new albums and playing shows. David Lovering is one of those drummers that shaped my love and curiosity for playing drums. His writing is a combination of dynamic driven mashups of punk, blues, reggae and everything but the kitchen sink. I love that he mixes it up and created a catalog that as a drummer is a pot of gold. It's no wonder the band is influential to people but in my world the drummer/magician of Pixies, David Lovering is an ace in the deck of cards.
