The New Cue #433 October 30: David Lovering of Pixies

"It’s taken us 50 years to learn how to play our instruments"

The big wheel of content just keeps on turning. Today we’ve got a sort-of Halloween special with Pixies, who have just released their new album The Night The Zombies Came. But remember, zombies aren’t just for Halloween. If you want to get your zombie fill at any other point in the year, you go for it.

We’ll see you on Friday, when we’ve got a bumper Recommender edition in store. We haven’t started putting it together yet because that’s the way we like to roll. That edition, like this one, is for our loyal paying subscribers only. For a mere fiver a month, you can join them here:

Enjoy the edition

Release Valve: David Lovering of Pixies

Last Friday, alt-rock trailblazers Pixies put out their ninth studio album. Titled The Night The Zombies Came, it’s the quartet’s fifth record since reuniting in 2004. In the run up to release, drummer David Lovering spoke to Niall to take on our RV queries.

The first record I loved was: That would be Bay City Rollers by the Bay City Rollers, going back to 1975. That’s when I was early on playing drums and Saturday Night was a fun one to play.
