Baby Woodrose is a Danish rock and roll and psychedelic rock band.

history

The band was founded in 2001 by Uffe Lorenzen as a side project of the band On Trial, in which he played drums, under the alias Lorenzo Woodrose. The band's name is derived from Hawaiian woodrose , the seeds of which are known for their psychoactive effects.

The debut album Blows Your Mind! he recorded on his own, later two more musicians joined with "The Moody Guru" (Riky Woodrose, bass) and "" Fuzz Daddy "" (Rocco Woodrose, drums). This line-up later changed several times, so that Lorenzen is the only constant member of Baby Woodrose to this day.

After only one album was released, a live recording of a festival appearance was released on August 3, 2002, but this is only a vinyl record limited to 1,000 copies . At the beginning of May 2003 the regular album Money for Soul was followed up. The next album, which was released in mid-September 2004, was one consisting of cover versions . In 2014 the current studio album Kicking Ass & Taking Names was released .

style

For Bernd Sievers from Eclipsed , Money for Soul is 100 percent sweat-inducing rock'n'roll or "an amazing mixture of pure rock 'n' roll with a great fun factor and a not to be despised proportion of melodies that catch your eye". His colleague Daniel Sutter described the same songs performed live as “energetic, loud and fast sixties rock'n'roll”, “ soaked in fuzz ” and euphoric due to its “ hallucinogenic effect”.

Lorenzo Woodrose commented (also) in 2003 on role models and intentions:

“[W] e get our inspiration from obscure American garage bands, as well as from old soul albums and later heavy acid bands like Blue Cheer and MC5 . We don't mind being called a party band. But there is much more to it than that, namely a large part of “Mind Music”. I wouldn't necessarily call us demanding. First and foremost, we want to make people happy. But our lyrical universe is already very deep and we take [it] very seriously [, ...] to expand the spectrum of ideas, to question values ​​and to promote a revolutionary state of consciousness - and that in simple pop songs. "

- Lorenzo Woodrose

One year later there was an answer to the question about the role models in the form of a complete cover version album. On Dropout! The band covered Captain Beefheart , Love , The Stooges and The 13th Floor Elevators, among others .
