Lucy Kruger and The Lost Boys is an art pop noise project fronted by Berlin-based/South African born musician and singer, Lucy Kruger. The group, founded by South African-born artist Lucy Kruger, is known for creating music full of atmosphere and intensity. Their prolific output and memorable live shows have attracted attention from both audiences and critics alike. Lucy Kruger started playing live shows in South Africa after finishing her Honours Degree in Drama at Rhodes University (2012). After the release of her debut album, ‘Summer’s Not That Simple’ (2015), the band was booked by some of the country’s most respected live music festivals, including Endless Daze, Oppikoppi, Rocking The Daisies, and Up The Creek. In 2018, Lucy Kruger relocated to Berlin, where she was picked up by German-based label Unique Records and publishing house Schubert Records. The two signed Lucy Kruger and released her second full-length album, ‘Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls.’ The band played a headline German tour, which ended with a sold-out show at Roter Salon, one of the venues in Berlin’s prestigious Volksbuhne Theatre. The album was reviewed and featured in publications such as Post-Punk, Radioaktiv, Musik Review, Radio Eins, and The Daily Indie. In 2020, Lucy Kruger developed a concept for two albums that would follow ‘Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls’, completing a trilogy. She started to rehearse and compose with what would become the current formation of the Lost Boys. The second album in the trilogy, ‘Transit Tapes (For Women Who Move Furniture Around)’ was released in 2021 and launched at Astra Kulturhaus. The album was well-received by critics and was given 4 out of 5 stars by Mojo Magazine. Their third album in the tapes series, ‘Teen Tapes (for performing your own stunts)’ was released in April 2022 at Lido in Berlin and was followed by a European tour that saw them headlining shows in Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Austria and Belgium. The band played a number of highly respected music festivals in Europe, including Rheeperbahn, Fusion, Maifeld Derby, Wave-Gotik Treffen, South of Silence, Immergut, and Left of The Dial.
