FNA Records Present: During the early 1990s, LOVEMAKER ruled the clubs of New York City. Limelight, CBGBs, Webster Hall, and Continental were all regular stops
the way. With an outrageous stage show, they quickly gained notoriety. Colorful backdrops, provocative costumes and glamorous make- were the foundation for rock anthems like “Bubblegum Lover” and “LUV NYC”.
With the help of manager John Apostol and publicist Claire O’Connor, the band was sharing stages with Dee Dee Ramone, Jayne County, Waldos, D-Generation, Smashed Gladys, Star Richie Scarlet, and many others. Catching the promoter Michael Schmidt, LOVEMAKER frequently performed at Squeeze Box, often opening for Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
LOVEMAKER was courted, and then dismissed, nearly all the major record labels of the day including MCA, Columbia, and Warner Bros. Everyone wanted to embrace the talent, but no wanted to be responsible for the unpredictable antics that made LOVEMAKER a fabulous disaster. In October of 1996 LOVEMAKER crashed and burned amidst the recording of their debut album. Thirty years later, all that remains is this collection of dynamic demos available here for the first time. Complete with a 16 page photo book, this limited edition CD is a must have for fans of Kiss, Poison and the New York Dolls!
