Gadsby & Skol was a Toronto three-piece that formed in 1969 after drummer Rick Skol went to a Jimi Hendrix concert the Coliseum at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto.
The group opened for such successful acts at Fludd and other visiting act and were once mis-represented as McKenna-Mendelson Mainline.
Having only recorded a couple of rehearsal tapes during their original run, (1969-1971), these long lost tapes were re-discovered by Chuck Gadsby nearly 25 years later, which inspired the band to re-record this set of original material, (plus a cover of Blue Cheer's "Just A Little Bit"), from that period.
On a recommendation by the British music reviewer and chronologist, Colin Hill, Skol went to see England's premier psychedelic band, "The Bevis Frond", at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, in 1999. After their set, Rick met the band, and gave guitarist-singer-songwriter, Nick Saloman, the latest recording.
Nick Saloman was blown away, and the self titled, 'Gadsby & Skol' CD was released on England's "Woronzow Records" label in 2001.
