Following the decision by New Zealand’s garage rock behemoth The D4 to go on extended hiatus, vocalist and guitarist Jimmy Christmas shaved his head and retreated into the wilds of Auckland’s central city to begin work on an ambitious new project.

Lurking around his local haunts in Kingsland, he began to pen a new batch of songs and emerged with a fistful of anthems and a new creation through which to deliver them - Luger Boa.

Having just completed a 2008 tour with NZ rock royalty Shihad and The Mint Chicks, Jimmy and his cacophonous crew of crazies are set to unleash their live arsenal at Big Day Out.

With the release of the single 1000 Hooks and debut album set to drop in November, Luger Boa promise to deliver a balls to the wall rock extravaganza.
