Shlomi Lavie (born November 26, 1978) is an Israeli-born American-based musician, best known as the drummer for Marcy Playground. He has also played with various other bands, including Nanuchka and Electro Morocco in New York City, and formerly with The Magical Mystery Tour, a Beatles tribute group, and Habiluim in Tel Aviv.
Lavie joined Marcy Playground in late 2008, replacing drummer Gonzalo Martinez De La Cotera. He was referred to lead singer John Wozniak by bassist Dylan Keefe's wife, who is one of Shlomi's best friends. Wozniak was impressed with Lavie's talent, and Lavie soon joined the band.
