...get trippy again...

Re-release now as download on the Baby Woodrose bandcampsite

Today the re-issue of the Baby Woodrose album Love Comes Down from 2006 has been released on LP/CD and as download. The limited first print on LP on black vinyl including a free 7" is all gone from the Bad Afro headquaters which means that right now is the right time to obtain a copy at your vinyl pusher. A second press on red vinyl without the 7" is also out....but it's not quite the same. A lot of positive reviews have already been written about this album and this one below will appear in the upcoming issue of Shindig:

"Back in 2006 whilst Scandinavian Garage Rock was enjoying a high profile due to the likes of Dungen and Soundtrack of Our Lives, Danish ensemble Baby Woodrose managed to land a deal with the sizeable Playground Music. Unfortunately as bigger labels tend to do, they increased the recording budget and then failed to distribute the album effectively thereby creating one of the bands best but hardest to find recordings. Now thanks to the eminently improved distribution of Bad Afro the album has been reissued. Fans of On Trial will recognise band leader Lorenzo Woodrose’s song writing and vocals which flourish here on the beautiful ‘Lights are Changing’ the powerful garage fuzz rocker ‘It’s all over now’ and the trippy and spacey title track.  Not many bands have a catalogue as impressive as Baby Woodrose and it’s great to see this little number back in the fold. LP version features a single with two unreleased tracks".

Upcoming Baby Woodrose album is called "Third Eye Surgery"

Baby Woodrose is recording their upcoming album this fall/winter at the Black Tornado studio in Copenhagen and now the new baby has a name. The 6th studio album (excluding the cover album "Dropout" and the live album "Live at GutterIsland") will be called Third Eye Surgery and it's due out in April 2012 on LP, CD and as download. Lorenzo Woodrose was recently quoted for saying that it will become a totally psyched out space rock album with a few twisted pop songs included for good measure. What that means time will tell - but the plan is to release the first single for radio and download in January. And maybe as a 7" too.....that has not been decided yet. I will post it if i know more about this hot album...

Thanks to Lars from...

...time for a interview...

Interview with the psychedelic rock hero Lorenzo Woodrose, known for Baby Woodrose, Dragontears, On Trial, The Setting Son and Spids Nøgenhat

Sauzipf Rocks 2011  in Austria/Kärnten

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. 

SH: Baby Woodrose is famous for their amazing live-sound. Live@Gutter Island is sold out for a long time. Isn't the current band constitution the perfect time to record one of your magical concerts?

Lorenzo: Yeah, you might be right about that. We've recorded most of our shows through the years, but we really need a better quality recording to be able to do that. We'll see.

SH: From time to time there are vinyl -re -releases coming out. Do you plan to make a re-release of your record Pandemonica? Or do you now where it's still possible to buy them?

Lorenzo: A re-release of the Pandemonica LP's is not in the plans, but for now they are available for download on my bandcamp site. If you need the vinyls, they sometimes pop up on ebay and discogs and places like that.

SH: Topic Dragontears: According to myspace you finished the project with the third album. Is this definitely the end or can we hope to see some more shows in Germany or Austria?

Lorenzo: There will be no more Dragontears shows. Currently we are touring with that same particular line up as Spids Nøgenhat, playing songs with danish lyrics exclusively.

SH: After the amazing feedback of the gig @ Roskilde you play 3 concerts in denmark. Is there a chance you will extend your trip to middle-europe or do we have to get planetickets? Or maybe you're gonna be at next year's DUNA JAM?

Lorenzo: I don't think so, no - sorry! We only wanna do a few shows every year in this setting. But Baby Woodrose are available for whatever.

SH: Which was your first guitar and which amp was hooked to it?

Lorenzo: My first acoustic was a Levin 12 string, my first electric was my Vox Teardrop. My first amp was a 15W transistor amp of the brand Dane.

SH: Do you remember the first record you owned? If yes, can you still listen to it without feeling ashamed?

Lorenzo: I've been asked this question many times and the truth is I'm not sure, but I think it might have been Kraftwerk's Mensch Machine. I could still listen to that yeah. I also owned a copy of U2 War around the same time though, which is another case. Another contender would be the first album by Trio, Dadada. I have revisited that recently and quite liked it.

SH: Which type of music or band do you think is so bad that it should be prohibited?

Lorenzo: Lady Gaga?

SH: What moment or concert do you think was the highlight of your rockcareer until now?

Lorenzo: I don't know. I live in the moment, so right now?

SH: Chuck Norris or Mc Gyver?

Lorenzo: Who are these people?

SH: Your favourite food?

Lorenzo: I'm very fond of Mexican. Chimichangas, Burritos, that sort of thing.

SH: Last and most important question: Which advice can you give all the young and unknown singers/songwriters out there?

Lorenzo: Sing your song.
