Luger Boa is a New Zealand rock band led by Jimmy Christmas, formerly of The D4. Christmas formed Luger Boa after The D4 decided to take an indefinite break. Christmas describes the band as "pop-oriented", but with the "intensity of The D4".{{cite web|url=http://www.3news.co.nz/Full-interview-with-Luger-Boas-Jimmy-Christmas/tabid/368/articleID/111600/Default.aspx|publisher=TV3|title=Full interview with Luger Boa's Jimmy Christmas}} Their album Mutate or Die was released in 2009 and catapulted them into the public view, largely due to Christmas's fame from The D4.{{cite web|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/lifestyle/local-scene/2942716/Christmas-is-coming|publisher=Taranaki Daily News|title=Christmas is Coming|date=18 October 2009|accessdate=13 January 2013}}
