Lustans Lakejer (Lackeys of Lust) is a Swedish new wave group formed in 1978, subsequently led by singer-songwriter Johan Kinde who has been the only permanent member throughout their career.
[1] They were initially influenced by 1970's art rock and post-punk acts like Roxy Music, David Bowie, Joy Division, Magazine and Ultravox but adopted a more sophisticated synthpop and new romantic style on their most successful albums Uppdrag i Genève and En plats i solen.
The latter album was produced by Richard Barbieri from the British group Japan and featured saxophone playing on three tracks by Mick Karn.
The following year an English-language version of that album, A Place in the Sun, was released under the group name Vanity Fair, but with no commercial success.
[1] By 1984 Johan Kinde had parted ways with the other original members and released two further albums as Lustans Lakejer and then embarked on a solo career.
