Biography

The Lost Patrol began in 1998 as a solo project for Dennis Lyxzén, singer for Swedish political punks the (International) Noise Conspiracy. His band, hardcore legends the Refused, had just broken up at the time, and Lyxzén wanted to move away from noise. He ended up releasing a record, 1999's Songs in the Key of Resistance, that was very much influenced by the political folk of artists like Billy Bragg. At the same time, he was forming the (International) Noise Conspiracy, which took most of his time and effort until the Lost Patrol was reinstated in 2003 with the release of Songs About Running Away for Burning Heart Records. The album was much poppier than the first, dealing with the melancholy results of a broken love affair and featuring the talents of over 20 musicians. Although his main band was still going strong, Lyxzén devoted more time to the Lost Patrol. In 2005 the solo project became a real band with a name change to the Lost Patrol Band, a set lineup (Lyxzén on guitar and vocals, Robert Pettersson on bass, André Sandström on drums, Anders Stenberg on guitar, and Jonas Lidström on keyboards), and the release of the more straightforward and poppy The Lost Patrol Band (also on Burning Heart). ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide

The Lost Patrol is an American rock 'n' roll band whose music falls into the categories of experimental, gothic, folk, shoegazing and "surf-a-billy." The band uses 12-string acoustic guitars, Moog and other synthesizers.

The band currently consists of Stephen Masucci, Mollie Israel and Michael Williams. They began writing their own music in 1999, with two members touring as an instrumental duo at that time.[1] Prior to forming this band, Masucci had music in two films by Hal Hartley, Flirt and The Book of Life.

The Lost Patrol has been featured by WFMU DJ Irwin Chusid on his show Gender Bias. Chusid's WFMU colleague Bob Brainen devoted an entire program to the band's songs.[2] Their album Music critic Chris Gerard named their album Launch And Landing as one of the Top 20 Albums of 2007.[3]

The Lost Patrol holds the US trademark on the band name.
