The performers:
Luger Boa was the brainchild of Jimmy Christmas, former singer/guitarist for internationally successful NZ garage rockers The D4. Jimmy reimagined himself as a character he likens to “a James Bond villain or a sci-fi hitman” while retaining the onstage flair and energy that made The D4 one of the country’s most exciting live acts. His newly found character and inspiration resulted in the pseudonym Luger Boa, a name bearing the yin-yang qualities of something metallic and organic – a Luger pistol and a snake. Don’t dare miss the raw, unbridled, rock’ n’ roll power of Jimmy Christmas. See you there! [Credits: Audio Culture, Under the Radar]
