Lovie began when founder/songwriter, Rebecca Dixon was inspired by the quote, "Why be a fan when you can be a band?" from the Karen Kilgariff/Mary Lynn Rajskub short film, Girls Guitar Club.
An avid live-music fan, Dixon gathered up her collection of songs and self-taught acoustic melodies and recruited three other self-taught female enthusiasts to join what would eventually become a well respected, continously working Dallas rock band. In 2007, Lovie beat 63 other Dallas-based bands to be named the champion in an online Battle of the Bands sponsored by the Dallas Morning News-owned Quick DFW. With the attitude that a lot of hard work and the ability to say "YES" for any opportunity opens the door to other opportunities, the ladies of Lovie quickly found themselves playing to a loyal following in local clubs, and earning gigs at the State Fair of Texas and the White Rock Marathon, and for charity events in local malls and hospitals, in addition to TV appearances on Fox 4's "Good Day Dallas," Channel 21/TXA's "Sound Check" and on the Dallas ABC affiliate, WFAA-TV's late night entertainment show, The Gordon Keith Show.
Of Lovie's sound, Dallas Observer writer says,"Lovie has developed a semi-nostalgic sound with just-right guitar riffs, simple keyboards and an astounding knack for fun, zippy backing vocals." While David Okamoto of KERA.org says, "A [vintage Farfisa] organ gives some songs a perky, late-70s new-wave vibe, but guitarist Rebecca Dixon's longing voice anchors their sound with a moody, introspective presence that helps Lovie come across as charming but not overly precious." And Dallas blogger, The Ghost of Blind Lemon shares that Lovie's music is "is filled with catchy melodies and killer keyboard riffs." Guitar-driven and head-bop inducing, Lovie's music is reminiscent of Letters to Cleo, Liz Phair and Veruca Salt, yet brings forth a relevant and current sound of today's indie rock scene.
"Harshmellow," Lovie's debut CD and was recorded with Todd and Toby Pipes of Deep Blue Something at BPL Studios in Dallas and released in 2007. The band is currently recording new demos in preparation for an EP due out in Winter 2010.
