Estimate ticket sales for Lustans Lakejer from venue capacity and sell-through history. Coming soon for PRO members.
Lustans Lakejer is a swedish new romantic band (or as they called themselves, unga moderna/young modern) first active between 1978 and 1986. In 1983 they also released an english version of their 1982 album En plats i solen (as A Place in the sun) under the name Vanity Fair for the european/british market.
Lustans Lakejer hade a semi sucessful comeback in 1999 with their retrospective album Åkerberga and is yet again playing in 2007 and will participate in the national swedish Song Contest, competing to represent Sweden in the European Song Contest.
Their music is a swedish version of new romantic surfacing out of the new wave/ny våg, and can be compared to groups such as Ultravox, Japan (the third album was produced by Richard Barbieri), Duran Duran and Roxy Music. They have been described as Sweden's foremost synth group even though they were distinctly synth oriented in just a short period, much under the influence of Tom Wolgers joining the band in 1981. The 1982 remake of Diamanter from the 1980 debut single is one of the major swedish synth classics ever.
Frontmen Johan Kinde and Tom Wolgers have had several other projects and made some solo works.
