[En ingles]
It all started with fine wine and cheeses. Ok, it was cheap beer and stolen cigarettes. In any case, Chris and Nick met in a film and video class on the campus of U-Mass and soon formed a band, as if by a slightly drunken accident. A few cases of Meister Brau later, Chris' brother Jon joined. Jason (Jon's college roommate) was found asleep on the floor of their rehearsal space one day. No one knew where he came from, including Jason, but he could sure play a mean lead. Bruce would eventually arrive from South Africa as the result of a bizarre child adoption effort by Nick.The band first assembled under the name 'Seventeen' in the fall of 1999 (no affiliation with Seventeen Magazine*). Since then, the group has seen a name change [see below] and a shuffling of rosters and roles, including the recent departure of Jon "Peacetrain" Baird (who is now following troops in the Middle East, armed with just an acoustic guitar.) His powerful political instincts were simply not to be denied. The remaining four members march upon the world as Lustra.
In 1999, the band introduced Breakfast at Tammy's into the world of ideas. This, the band's first full-length disc, was a self-recorded and self-promoted paean to a mythical teenage girl of the 1980's, and though its commercial sales proved to be - uhh, non-brisk, still the recordings were greeted with much critical enthusiasm. It was, in fact on the strength of Breakfast that the band would be delivered from the basements and family restaurants of Somerville, MA, and onto the big Boston stages; and likewise, with this disc, would they be delivered out of crushing debts and into the motherly arms of XOFF Records, a production company.
With XOFF's help and backing, Lustra found producer and former Letters to Cleo bassist Scott Riebling, who tracked the Ransom Your Handsome EP. Ransom garnered the band a second wave of press, a slightly improved lot of New England gigs [and even a bolt to Virginia and back], and a stepped-up rotation on college and local commercial radio. But it wasn't until they came out of the studios at Long View Farms with their second full-length, Bikini Pie Fight!, that Lustra began dropping coast-to-coast thunder.

Hey!!!!!!
Scotty doesn't know,
That Fionna and me,
Do it in my van every Sunday.
She tells him shes in church,
But she doesn't go,
Still shes on her knees, and...
Scotty doens't know, oh.
Scotty doesn't know-oh.
So don't tell Scotty!
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know.
SO DON'T TELL SCOTTY!
Fionna says shes out shopping,
But shes under me and I'm not stopping.
Cuz Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know.
So don't tell Scotty.
Scotty doesn't knoooooow....
DON'T TELL SCOTTY!
I can't believe he's so trusting,
While I'm right behind you thrusting.
Fionna's got him on the phone,
and she's trying not to moan.
It's a three way call,
and he knows nothing.
NOTHING!!!
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Don't tell Scotty.
Cuz Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't knoooooow....
SO DON'T TELL SCOTTY!
We'll put on a show, everyone will go.
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't knoooooow....
The, parking lot, why not?
It's so cool when you're on top.
His front lawn, in the snow.
Laughing so hard, cuz...
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know.
I did her on his birthday.
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Scotty doesn't know,
Don't tell Scotty.
Scotty doesn't knoooooow....
Scotty will know,
Scotty has to know,
Scotty's gotta know,
Gonna tell Scotty,
Gonna tell him myself.
Scotty has to know,
Scotty has to know,
Scotty has to,
Scotty has to,
Scotty has to go!
