There is a lot of history to a band that has been around for over 25 years - some good and some not so good…but all of it classic!

The band first came to light shortly after Paul Dean (ex-Streetheart) and Mike Reno (ex-Moxy) met in a rehearsal warehouse in Calgary, Alberta. Recognizing each other’s talent and drive, they began writing together almost immediately.

Keyboardist, Doug Johnson joined the duo shortly after, and in the spring of ‘79 the band became a quartet when Paul’s old Streetheart drummer, Matt Frenette, joined the fold. The guys headed for Vancouver and found the missing piece of the puzzle when bassist Scott Smith left his band Dalbello and LOVERBOY was formed.

Impressed with the band’s demos, Columbia Records (CBS) signed them to a recording deal and in 1980 “Loverboy” was released in Canada and the US, and in Europe and Australia in 1981, garnering hits with “The Kid is Hot Tonight” and “Turn Me Loose”. The band toured almost non-stop supporting that album, opening for acts like Kiss, Cheap Trick, Bob Seger, Kansas and ZZ Top.

“Get Lucky”, their second effort, was released in Canada and the US in October 1981 and Loverboy headed out on the road with Journey almost immediately. At the same time, the first album was certified platinum in the US and quadruple platinum in Canada…not too shabby for a debut album!
