The Lodge (band)
The Lodge were a 1980s British/Welsh/American art rock band based in New York, but performing mainly in Europe, which briefly united members of Henry Cow, Slapp Happy, Art Bears and Golden Palominos (among others). It was centred primarily around Peter Blegvad and John Greaves, and drew strongly on their previous collaborations and projects (most notably the ''Kew. Rhone.'' album).
==Roots (Henry Cow, ''Kew. Rhone.'' etc)==
Following his ejection from Henry Cow in 1975, Blegvad had returned to New York to work in cartoons (most notably as a background scene artist for Peanuts ). Soon after this, he renewed his musical association with Henry Cow bass player John Greaves, and the pair linked up with singer/pianist Lisa Herman. The result was the ''Kew. Rhone.'' album, released on Island Records in 1977 and credited to John Greaves/Peter Blegvad/Lisa Herman. This was a dense and detailed song cycle with music by Greaves, lyrics by Blegvad and contributions by Woodstock jazz musicians Carla Bley, Andrew Cyrille and Michael Mantler. Described as “a brilliant amalgam of Slapp Happy's skewed pop sense, the collective improvisation approach of Henry Cow, the sly wit of the Canterbury prog rock scene, and (most fruitfully) Carla Bley's inimitably skewed progressive jazz”,〔Allmusic review of John Greaves/Peter Blegvad/Lisa Herman album ''Kew. Rhone.'', retrieved 29 September 2008 – []〕 ''Kew. Rhone.'' was very well received by critics and musicians alike. (Robert Wyatt reportedly bought two copies in case he wore out his original copy with enthusiastic replaying.) 〔[http://calyx.perso.neuf.fr/mus/greaves_john.html John Greaves biography on Calyx website, retrieved 29 September 2008 –]〕 However, it was not followed up by an immediate sequel, although the participants stayed in touch.
Returning to England in 1982, Blegvad cut the albums ''The Naked Shakespeare'' and ''Knights Like These'', both of which featured ex-64 Spoons guitarist Jakko Jakszyk. Greaves co-wrote three songs on ''The Naked Shakespeare'' and Blegvad returned the favour by writing lyrics for eight of the songs on Greaves’ ''Accidents'' album (also released in 1982).
However, Blegvad’s attempts at a British solo career suffered due to record company politics and the effects of 1980s production styles. Pushed by producers into an over-complex and technological sound, he himself favoured the sparser and rawer sound of his small live band which included his brother Kristoffer on guitar and backing vocals. Disillusioned, Peter Blegvad returned to New York in 1986 and began collaborating with The Golden Palominos, the art rock band led by ex-Pere Ubu drummer Anton Fier.
