Troels Trier

Danish vocalist, artist, b. 1940, the creative mastermind of the political rockgroup Røde Mor, later a satirical schlager-entertainer in the husband/wife duo Troels Trier & Rebecca Brüel. Established an art collective in 1968, Røde Mor, that by 1969 divided into also being the politically leftish musical/theatrical group Røde Mor w. Trier as the lead-singer and creative focus. Alongside Røde Mor's rockmusical-releases he began releasing solo albums in the mid 70's w. a more discreet satirical tone, often backed by the Røde Mor musicians including his brother, classical guitarist Lars Trier. After Røde Mor ended in the late 70's, Trier continued his solo career as satirical entertainer, in the early 80's teaming up with his wife Rebecca Brüel as an ironic over-the-top schlager act.
