The
band was founded in 1969 by twin brothers Colin and Stewart Goldring,
who were joined by drummer Nigel Pegrum from Spice and Peter "Mars"
Cowling on bass. John Earle joined the band on saxophone and flute for
their second album. They came up with the band name by reversing and
slightly rearranging the brothers' surname, adding in an extra "o". In
May 1972, the British music magazine NME reported that Gnidrolog was to
appear at the Great Western Express Lincoln Festival on 26 May that
year, along with Budgie, Skin Alley, Tea & Symphony, John Martyn,
and Warhorse. In 1972, Gnidrolog released both their first and second
albums, In Spite of Harry's Toe-Nail and Lady Lake, before disbanding
due to a lack of commercial success. Despite having played gigs with
acts such as David Bowie, Colosseum, King Crimson, Gentle Giant,
Wishbone Ash, Soft Machine, and Magma in their brief career, they have
always remained relatively obscure.
Cowling began a long working relationship with Pat Travers in 1975.
After
disbanding, Nigel Pegrum joined Steeleye Span, while the Goldring
brothers formed the punk rock band the Pork Dukes in 1976, and later
went on to do session work, as did other members. After a break of 27
years, they got back together in 1999, and released their third studio
album, Gnosis, in 2000. John "Irish" Earle went on to be a successful
musician, playing with artists such as Thin Lizzy, Ian Dury and the
Clash.
Lady Lake is the second studio album of the British
progressive rock band, Gnidrolog. The songs in the album deal with a
variety of concepts varying from pacifism in "I Could Never Be a
Soldier", to pilgrimage in "Ship", and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in the
title track, "Lady Lake". The band broke up shortly after the album was
released due to lack of commercial success, but would eventually release
a third, live, album in 1999 - recorded in 1972.
