HARSHMELLOW NOW AVAILABLE

About Me


Rebecca, CJ, Grace and Cathleen aren’t your typical rock girls... A stay-at-home-mom of 3, a nano-technology public relations professional, a vegan/animals rights activist and a pharmaceutical sales rep all found one common ground that is Lovie. These ladies have cast aside stereotypes, egos and all of their inhibitions to bring fun, poppy tunes, solid song writing and catchy hooks to their audiences. Lovie's debut CD, Harshmellow, was recorded with Todd and Toby Pipes at BPL Studios in Dallas, TX.
“There is no doubt that all future reviews and articles will somehow incorporate the "clever" remark "people will fall in love with Lovie." The thing is, it's true. This all-girl, oops, all-female band harkens to the day of the Go-Go's and Veruca Salt, with aggressive guitars, head-bopping beats and vintage vocals”
- Rich Lopez, The Dallas Observer
“A Farfisa-like 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. … they fall somewhere between the paisley pop of the early Bangles and the fragile angst of Juliana Hatfield. … Put Lovie on your watch list for 2008...”
- David Okamotoa, KERA.org/NPR
“And Lovie is the only band in town to kick your ass without you even knowing while blowing a kiss your way at the same time. With a solidified stage presence, the members' cohesiveness is now like a chick onslaught of rock that charms the ear and bops the head with just heavy enough guitars and Rebecca Dixon's crème brule-like voice –- crisp on the outside delivery with kid-sister sweet undertones. And the audience was eating it up.”
- Rich Lopez, The Dallas Observer
“This ten song collection is filled with catchy melodies, killer keyboard riffs, and a first rate production job by the Pipes brothers.”
- The Ghost of Blind Lemon Music Blog
“Lovie has developed a semi-nostalgic sound with just-right guitar riffs, simple keyboards and an astounding knack for fun, zippy backing vocals.”
- Rich Lopez, The Dallas Observer
“The writing on this CD is pretty darn good, I must say.”
- Joni Hutchinson, Pegasus News

Band Members: This video was our fake bio a while back. We didn't know what to say about ourselves, so we thought we would let people see who we are and how we are... (even though looking at it now, I'm realiziing that me and Grace are huge goofballs1) But I SURE do love hanging out with these girls!: xo, rebec
