Berlin-based Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys, have captivated audiences across Europe with their atmospheric and intense performances. Led by South African-born artist Lucy Kruger (guitar and vocals), the band features Liú Mottes (guitar), Jean-Louise Parker (viola and vocals), Gidon Carmel (drums). Their music is both intimate and angular—droning and dream-like in moments, driving, direct, and on the edge of desperation in others. Caringly confrontational.

"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
