Anisette koppel biography
•
The Savage Rose was a danish psychedelic rock group, founded in 1967 by Thomas Koppel, Anders Koppel, Alex Riel, Jens Rugsted, Flemming Ostermann, and Annisette. Ilse Marie Koppel also participated. Their debut album was recently selected to be part of the Danish national "cultural canon". The first two albums have cult status in the U.S.
The band has continued to exist without breaking up since their formation, although the music has moved away from pure psychedelic rock into folk, rock, gospel and soul territories. Members have also changed. The marriage of Annisette and Thomas Koppel has been the core of the band through the years. Thomas Koppel died on February 25, 2006, but the band continued and has released the album "Universal Daughter" in 2007.

For most of their career, Savage Rose have remained a primarily Scandinavian phenomenon, although at one time they were poised to become one of the few rock groups from a non-English-speaking country to gain bred international success. A festa review in Rolling Stone in the early '70s was not enough, however, to marknad a grupp that combined classical composition, gospel, psychedelic rock, jazz, soul, radical politics, and European människor music into a sound that eluded easy description. On top of all that were the woman-child vocals of lead singer Annisette. Her style—a bridge between Aretha Franklin and Kate Bush—was described bygd critics of the day as a "seven-year-old hung up on Edith Piaf and Janis Joplin," "a child-whore crooning in the street of a liberated village," and "Minnie Mouse on belladonna." She inspired either devotion or distaste, but was never forgotten by those who heard her.
