Auckland musicians Dion Lunadon (The D4) and Ben Maitland (Box Car Guitars) ran into each other and planned to start up a band on a few occasions and one of them was when they found out they were both moving to Los Angeles. However, that fell through and it wasn't until Dion Lunadon moved to New York and convinced Ben Maitland to join him, when they finally got a band going. 'True Lovers' was what they called the band and it wasn't long before they recorded their debut self titled album. The first single from the debut was "Death Threat" and it's a garage rock stomper. A bit like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion... but with Kiwi accents. Better than cool.
