What’s for Lunch, Christian?

 

Christian Gregory Ingle is Christian Lunch, a minimal synth-punk musician from California. He lived in the Los Angeles area in the late 70s & lurked around the periphery of the L.A. music scene for a time. He released a couple of EPs on his own Fish Ranch label before deciding to move to Europe in the early 80s. With only the clothes on his back & a Teac 4-track for luggage, he came to rest in Hamburg, Germany.

He released his first full-lehgth on the Konkurrenz Schallplatten label. It is a refreshingly unique take on the evolving genre of experimental synth-punk of the early 80s.

 

Christian Lunch - Shark Bait, Konkurrenz Schallplatten KON9, 1981.

    Enjoy it i shall! I've been on the lookout for Christian Lunch ever since i heard his 'Welcome To The Neighborhood' years ago. This'll do very nicely.

    Whilst i'm here, Nate, i wonder if i could ask a favour of you? I recently picked up a CD by Attwenger (an Austrian neo-folk band from Linz) called 'Sun'. It's bloody marvellous, it is. You wouldn't happen to have anything else by this fantastic duo, would you? As ever, i am indebted to you. Thank you, my friend.

    Hi
    He also issued a EP called "Unreliable Sources" and was featured on the "Let Them Eat Jellybeans" album (2 songs)
    He's got some more recent titles (well, between 3 and 13 years...) on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/christian-lunch

    It's hard to find a good Christian Lunch in these heathen times! Thank you for sharing his LP. Wish I had better rips of his EP's Global Reach and Product (aka Dolphin Lust) with Cole Palme from Factrix.
