They received the German Record Critics' Award. They had several number one hits. They stole the show from Wishbone Ash. 35 years ago, they played to sold-out venues in Germany. They were also celebrated in the USA as one of the few German rock bands to perform at major festivals and concerts alongside Bob Dylan, Genesis, Eric Clapton, and Santana. LAKE – the name sounds like a legend, one that had been silent for two decades. Since 2003, LAKE has been performing again. Alex Conti has truly assembled a top-notch band: Alex Conti (LAKE, Atlantis, Hamburg Blues Band) – guitar and vocals; Ian Cussick (Scotland) – lead vocals and percussion; Jens Skwirblies (Deno, Ian Cussick, Bobby Kimball) – keyboards and backing vocals; Mickie Stickdorn (Jennifer Rush, Heinz R. Kunze, Elephant) – drums & backing vocals and Holger Trull (Joachim Witt, Rosebud, Cocker Cover Crew) – bass & backing vocals. Then as now, what critics attest to this band holds true: perfect sound, often compared to Steely Dan, outstanding technical quality, and a brilliant live sound. Music that blends blues, pop, rock, and a touch of jazz. Wonderful songs, catchy riffs, a roaring Hammond sound, powerful vocal harmonies, a precise rhythm section, and, of course, Alex Conti's unmistakable guitar. LAKE is among the best acts that Germany has to offer in rock music
