Nicola and I went to see loudQUIETloud – a Film About The Pixies at the GFT last night. A documentary on their 2004 reunion, it proved to be quite entertaining. As Nicola will tell you it’s not about much other than their reunion and nothing all that dramatic happens in it.

All the members seemed quite happy to get the band back together. Not least drummer David Lovering, who was on the brink of being penniless, when the call came in.

Dave provided most of the film’s amusing moments, mainly with his new career as a magician and his hobby as a metal detector. He also becomes addicted to valium during the tour, a fact that disgusts his bandmates.

Kim Deal takes along her twin sister Kelley in order to keep her from falling back into drink and drugs. Kelley also provides a few amusing moments along the way.

It’s not a massive groundbreaking documentary but for anyone with more than a passing interest in The Pixies it’s well worth a look.
