Baby Woodrose is a rock band formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2001. They take their name from the Argyreia nervosa, a plant commonly known as Hawaiian baby woodrose, which can be used for hallucinogenic effects.
Baby Woodrose was started in 2001 by Uffe Lorenzen, later known under the alias Lorenzo Woodrose. Initially Baby Woodrose was a personal side-project for Lorenzo Woodrose, who was still drummer and song writer in On Trial then. Lorenzo recorded Baby Woodrose's first album Blows Your Mind by himself. Later on he decided to take the project to the next level and contacted 'The Moody Guru' (Riky Woodrose, bassist) and 'Fuzz Daddy' (Rocco Woodrose, drummer).
As a power trio they recorded several more albums, the first of which was Money for Soul, released on Bad Afro in 2003. The album catapulted Baby Woodrose into public recognition in Denmark, and 2003 became a turning point. They won the P3 Award in 2003[1], the main award in Denmark's largest music award show. The show was broadcast live on national television in Denmark, and during their live musical performance, they were joined on stage by Danish beat music icon Peter Belli. Following the quick success of Baby Woodrose, Lorenzo quit On Trial in 2003, after 17 years in the band[2].
In 2004, Baby Woodrose played the opening show on the main stage of Roskilde Festival, Denmarks largest music festival. They closed the stage again three days later, playing the final show under the title "An Evening with Baby Woodrose"[3]. Same year they were nominated for the Danish Music Awards in 2004, which they didn't win however.
Lineup Changes
Some years after joining, Moody Guru and Fuzz Daddy both left Baby Woodrose. Kåre Joenson replaced Moody Guru on the bass, and for some time, Johan Lei-Gellett replaced Fuzz Daddy on drums with Adam Olsson joining on guitar. Johan Lei-Gellett and Adam Olsson were later replaced by Hans Beck (drums) and Mads Såby (guitar), resulting in the current lineup:
- Lorenzo Woodrose: Lead guitar, lead vocals.
- Kåre Joensen: Bass, vocals.
- Mads Såby: Guitar, vocals.
- Hans Beck: Drums.
