Lustfaust were an experimental noise band active in West Berlin during the late seventies and early 1980s. Featuring a Japanese jazz drummer, Matsushita Bobby Kazuki, a Belgian guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, Guido van Baelen, a German bassist, Hans Berger, and the California-born, German/American Peter Kruger, the band was a curiously international mixture, initially formed through a mutual distaste for the inoffensive music that it was for the most part their job to produce.They freaked out and rocked out with cement mixers and guitars and an aggressive on-stage presence. They also pioneered the burgeoning cassette culture of the late seventies.
Schneider TM und Lustfaust have recently collaborated on 7" single and gallery opening performance in Berlin last year and are now set to return to the UK for their first festival appearance since the Reading Festival in 1980.
