Guitarist Sepp Ehrensberger had played in the Berlin cult punk rock band called Vorkriegsjugend (1984–85).
Duckworth, Ehrensberger and Schwoll gave birth to Jingo de Lunch in April 1987, with Steve Hahn on drums and Henning Menke on bass.
In 1987 Jingo de Lunch released their debut album Perpetuum Mobile, three months after their first rehearsal.
[citation needed] After they split, Steve Hahn worked as a roadie for Toten Hosen and Beatsteaks.
In 2006, Jingo de Lunch played two reunion shows at the White Trash Fast Food in Berlin.
Ox-Fanzine praised the production of the band's early work, comparing them to Bad Brains and Dag Nasty.
