The story of Loverboy<\/strong> is akin to a Hollywood movie. Overcoming rejection to eventually become one of Canada’s most successful rock bands of all time<\/strong> and selling millions of albums in the process, is a feel-good story for the ages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 7th, 2024<\/strong>, one of their most incredible live performances will be released for the very first time, in high definition<\/strong>. \u201cLive In \u201882\u201d<\/strong> has been lovingly restored by Paul Dean from his personal archive of 16mm film, the joyous energy of a band who helped define the golden era of 80’s music captured like lightning in a bottle. With their great music, colorful clothing, outrageous hairstyles (and headbands!), and terrific soundtracks for movies like \u2018Ferris Bueller’s Day Off\u2019, and \u2018Top Gun\u2019, Loverboy<\/strong> has stood the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLive In \u201882\u201d<\/strong> will become available on limited CD+Blu-ray, limited LP+DVD<\/strong> and digital streaming<\/strong> and download. <\/strong>Today\u2019s announcement coincides with the launch of the first live track: \u2018Turn Me Loose\u2019 <\/strong>is available as digital single and live video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than 40 years, Loverboy<\/strong> has been \u201cWorking For The Weekend\u201d (and on the weekend), delighting audiences around the world since forming in 1979, when vocalist Mike Reno was introduced to guitar hot shot Paul Dean \u2013 both veterans of several bands on the Canadian scene \u2013 at Calgary\u2019s Refinery Night Club. Along with Reno and Dean, Loverboy<\/strong> still includes original members Doug Johnson on keyboards and Matt Frenette on drums, with Ken \u201cSpider\u201d Sinnaeve replacing the late Scott Smith on bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, <\/strong>the band <\/strong>has sold more than 10 million albums, earning several multi-platinum awards. Their string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem \u2018Working For The Weekend\u2019, such arena rock staples as \u2018The Kid Is Hot Tonight\u2019, \u2018Take Me To The Top\u2019, \u2018Turn Me Loose\u2019, \u2018Jump\u2019 and many more. Loverboy <\/strong>are not only masters of their craft as songwriters, but also renowned for being a formidable touring act, spending years on the road sharing stages with everyone from Def Leppard to Journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, the group was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and more recently the Canadian Walk of Fame, in the fall of 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there is no stopping the band this year, as they embark on a Live Nation promoted North American tour supporting Sammy Hagar, starting in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
