Sweet Hello to be released on vinyl

Per Gessle announced that “The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye” remake will be released as an EP. This will be a limited edition on blue vinyl and will feature 4 tracks:

Side 1:
The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye (Bassflow main version)
The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye (Bassflow radio edit)

Side 2
The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye (original version)
The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye (T&A demo March 1990)

Per writes “I want one!” – well guess what, me too! This is just awesome. I wonder if Per got inspired with our votings for the setlist for the 2011 tour, where “The Sweet Hello” got the first place 😉 Back then he said:  “I don’t know about this Internet vote, there always comes up weird song choices like “The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye” laughs Per. We played ‘Silver Blue’ since that song won. We did it in a new arrangement that was nice.

We also have an interview with Mr. Bassflow in the pipeline, stay tuned!

Brainpool to play in South Sweden on Sunday

The best band (or 2nd best) on this planet is back! Brainpool is to play in the Mossegårdsfestivalen, Sweden, on June 17.

According to the festival plan, Brainpool is set to play between 21:15 and 22:15.

And that’s not all.

According to this article on Sydsvenskan, the band is also working on a new album which is set to be out hopefully end of this year.

Magnus Börjeson is going to be on the stage on Sunday as well, playing guitar. And the band is going to play songs from all Brainpool albums, something they haven’t done since Janne.

Thanks Roxette Café for the info!

Roxette to play in Mexico City in September

Per Gessle already announced in Facebook in May that Roxette would play in Mexico in September.

Now the date has been officially announced by Ocesa Pop in Twitter: the concert will take place on September 19th in the Auditorio Nacional of Mexico City.

There is going to be a Banamex pre-sale on June 11 and 12. The tickets will go on sale to the public on June 13. Tickets will probably go on sale via Ticketmaster, we will confirm when we have more information.

This is going to be concert number 140 and seems to be the last concert of the tour. But is it really going to be the last one?
