Description
Lady Lake."No Pictures" 1978 Dutch Private Symphonic Rock. Lady Lake in the seventies was one of those obscure not too well known bands from the same era as Focus, Alquin, Kayak and Ekseption. They never hit the big time however and after only one studio-album, Lady Lake disbanded at the end of 1981. The small-scale reunion gigs in Deventer and Leerdam in 1991 and 1993 are probably not well known to many. Almost eight years ago Lady Lakes first public performance in front of a progressive rock loving audience in years took place in Uden (ProgHeaven festival, 1998) and then Progfarm in 1999 followed. After this memorable gig with the brothers Goldring from Gnidrolog there was a hiatus of nearly five years until Lady Lake performed live at the Vestzaktheater in Enschede on March 28 in 2003. Due to the last minute withdrawal by the Dutch prog outfit Fluxury at the Symphonic Rock Festival in Amstelveen November 12, 2005 Lady Lake was invited to play in their stead, which they did of course. Less than a month later Lady Lake performed live at Radio Almelo (on December 11) because they were invited by the prog-heads responsible for Radio Xymphonia: two whole hours of symphonic and/or progressive rock music each Sunday-evening. Xymphonia celebrated their 666th broadcast on that particular evening. Lady Lake`s next gig would be in Zeist on November 3 (2006). Lady Lake`s first album No Pictures was released on CD for the first time in 1997 by Musea. The original album, together with interesting newly recorded bonus-tracks, got sold out however. With the release of the very well received album SuperCleanDreamMachine in 2005, No Pictures has been re-released by Musea and now a new album will be released shortly. The album entitled Unearthed consists of demo`s and live recordings from 1978-1991. The why, how and what will be explained by all three Lady Lake members Fred Rosenkamp (guitar), Leendert Korstanje (keys) and Jan Dubbe (drums), present at the small barn where these three friends (Gentle Giant) usually rehearse in. Bass – Eddy Bakker Drums, Percussion – Joop Van Leeuwen Guitar – Fred Rosenkamp Keyboards – Leendert Korstanje
