Got a sense of humour? So we’re sure you will enjoy those two drawings of the Roxette’s 2012 band prepared by Chilean fan – Sebastian Lucaveche (sebastian.lucaveche@gmail.com).
Well done, Sebastian!
Peter Samuelsson has recently prepared a project for new Pelle Alsing’s drum kit for the Roxette’s World Tour 2012 and posted it on the Roxette Official Facebook page. The idea for new drum kit design came from the well-known backline Mikael Nogueira Svensson, the one who helps Per Gessle with his guitars and usually takes photos of audience before the concert.
This new drum set will used for the very first time in Auckland, New Zealand in just 26 days!
We proudly present the Brazilian questionnaires that RoxetteBrasil.net did with all the band members during their stay in South America. All them responded promptly and personally commented their answers during the flights and hotels. A big hand to Dany Etchart who sent us this interview!
CHRISTOFFER LUNDQUIST
ROXETTE BRASIL: It is your first time in Brazil. What are your expectations?
Well I would admit since I don’t know much about Brazil, only from school, my expectations are very normal, warm climate, friendly people, different culture, etc. But already after two days I blow away by the friendliness, hospitality and warmth we’ve encountering. I love it here – already. And the audience reaction – wow…!!!
RXBRA: What are your biggest musical influences?
60’s and 70’s rock and pop music like The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, etc etc. I seem to be especially close to music made between 1967 and 1973 for some reason, almost everything from that period seems to hit a chord with me. But I listen to lots of different music, classical music, I love opera, etc etc. There’s sooo much great music to discover.
RXBRA: How does it feel to be part of the Roxette world today?
Oh, it’s an honor, a privilege, an adventure, an education, and on a personal level it’s about doing fantastic things with your friends… it’s unbelievable really, what can I say?
RXBRA: How did you meet Per? (Was because of Brainpool) And Marie?
Yes, my band Brainpool was the first band Per signed to his Jimmy Fun label in 1994. And three months later we’re supporting Roxette on their “Crash! Boom Bang! Tour”. That’s how I met Per and Marie and on that tour I also became great friends with Clarence. Then Brainpool was asked to play on a couple of tracks on “World according to Gessle” and after that just stayed, I guess!
RXBRA: Soooo Christoffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerr, say something for Roxette Brasil website readers!
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO INCREDIBLE NICE, WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY TO US!!!!! I badly want to comeback to Brazil now, I love it so much here already! Thank you all!!!!
The gap between the shows in Erfurt and Munich marks the half time of the German NOTP dates. The NOTP videoblog celebrates this day with comments by the artists on video. Catch some words by Clarence, Oscar (rox engineer), Per and other band members in there!

Two new pictures appeared on Roxette.se – the first one is Per’s dressing-room and the second one is Mr. Alsing’s dinner – he seems to be on diet right now.
Bon appetit everyone!
