Doors: 20.00 // Show: 21.00Nach ihrem wunderbaren Gig beim Sommerfest 2024 endlich wieder bei uns:
Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys is an art-pop tender-noise band defined by their openness to sonic transformation. Formed in 2015 by frontwoman Lucy Kruger – a South African-born singer-songwriter and guitarist – the project took on its distinctively ephemeral shape after relocating to Berlin in 2018.
While inherently mercurial and in favour of collaborative freedom, the band anchors its sound firmly between the restraint of introspection and the rawness of release. Years of touring and recording have forged a shared visceral language – one that knows exactly when to hush and when to howl. Their trajectory, from the quiet solitude of bedroom recordings to the rich, often feral energy of the stage, reflects a commitment not just to the evolution of their sound, but to its sensation, emotional presence, and the body’s unrelenting need to speak.
For the past six years, with a signature grit and grace, Kruger’s voice has traversed walls of ambient noise, deftly weaving whispers and guttural invocations alike through a sonically haunted post-punk terrain. Her sonorous duality lends both softness and ferocity to the defiant sound producing a feeling that is both vulnerable and charged.
In 2026, the band will release and tour their seventh studio album, Pale Bloom – a culmination of years of writing, recording, and performing. The result is a glistening and emotive sonic emulsion that animates itself in the body of the listener, like an awakened desire stretching itself into being.
‘ ... South African-born Kruger is the real deal, with enough attitude and drama for a few bands... She possesses a death stare that looks both through you and into your soul at the same time …’ - Brooklyn Vegan “It's like Americana for goths. Lucy makes eye contact with us and sings narrative songs. A spell. It is not until closing number “Burning building” that we are let go. Awesome” - 3voor12 it's a pleasure to watch Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys create such a claustrophobically liberating sound. Likewise, Lucy Kruger, as a personality on stage, goes far beyond the ordinary. - MuziekBlog ...a perfect storm of posturing gothic art pop with a grungy, low-tempo backbone, spellbindingly dark and angsty, and flecked with violin lines that lent the songs a satisfyingly Venus In Furs-esque eeriness. - Clash Music Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys are perfect for fans of artists who blend introspective, atmospheric, and experimental sound with elements of dark folk, art pop, and ambient noise.
