The Halmstad festival, as Per Gessle has announced recently, slowly takes its shape. The first supporting act for Roxette Halmstad concert on August 14th is Paintbox.

We are trio from Halmstad, Sweden – consisting of Linnea Olsson, Magnus Helgesson and Gicken Johansson. We play and make music that makes us happy! We are at the moment working on our second album, which will be released this year, around november/december. Until then, check out our debut album Bright Gold and Red (WCM001), released inDecember 2008. It is available for download on iTunes and CDBaby. If you would like to order the cd, check out any good cd-site, or order it straight from us. Check out the video to the song Winter, directed and edited by Magnus Helgesson.

“Roxette Comeback 2010” t-shirts

by

If you have no idea what you should put on yourself on the forthcoming Roxette concerts, we have a good tip for you: make your own t-shirt with a little help of Dany Etchart’s creative ideas. She has created the series of “Roxette Comeback 2010” flag t-shirts with the well-known Roxette picture taken at Cirkus in Stockholm by Rikard Eriksson on May 10th 2009.

So, if you feel inspired by that, just buy a black or red t-shirt and use one of these pictures.

Per Gessle: “It’s terrible that a fan from Russia or Argentina travels all the way to Sweden and has an invalid ticket”

by

Biljettnu.se wants to sue Per Gessle for the interview he has given few days ago. Per Gessle answered to Biljettnu.se via Aftonbladet, “all information around the AC/DC gig that I gave to the media, I have received from various sources – including Live Nation”. He apologizes in case the information is incorrect, but is at the same time glad that these things come to the light thanks to media’s interest. “It is terrible that, for instance, a fan from Russia or Argentina saves up money to buy a ticket online, travels all the way to Sweden and cannot be admitted because the ticket is invalid,” he tells Aftonbladet.
