Per Gessle on Depeche Mode’s gig

by

According to Dagens Nyheter Per Gessle was watching Depeche Mode’s concert at Globen, Stockholm (January 31st) from the mixboard place together with Anton Corbijn. The well-known photographer was also called as the “third member of Roxette”. Did someone forget about Clarence?

Here’s what the Man said about this gig on his Twitter and Facebook:

Just back from Depeche@theGlobe. Much better than expected since I don’t know that many songs. FANTASTIC set design! And a beautiful crowd!! And Dave Gahan is great mix between Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger…

Re. Depeche Mode: And of course, Anton Corbijn did the stage production!

The preliminary cover of “Best of Roxette” songbook.

by

In the Gehrmans Musikförlag catalogue 2009-2010 the preliminary cover of “Best of Roxette” was published with the release date in the autumn/winter 2009. As you may remember, according to several Swedish websites, the book will be released on March 21st. English words on the cover may suggest that the whole book (with Per Gessle’s comments) will be written in this language. On the other hand, there was also informations that the songbook would be in Swedish.

Roxette band without Jonas Isacsson

by

According to Jonas Isacsson himself, he will not be the part of Roxette band that will play in Anderstorp. This time it will be The Party Crasher Band, which would mean that Christoffer Lundquist will play the leading guitar and Magnus Börjeson bass. Does it also mean that we can expect to see Helena Josefsson on stage? It is still unclear.

Per & Marie is doing the show with The Partycrasher Band. The Partycrasher Band is good and more rehearsed with the Rox-songs. More suitable for the occasion.

They played lot’s of Rox-songs on the Partychrasher tour. We only did 5 on NOTP. I’m sure Christoffer is going to get it right. He’s a great musician!

Magnus Börjeson confirmed on Facebook that he is going to play with Roxette in August.

Interview with The Race Legends’ CEO Urban Stamming

by

Swedish Radio P4 Jönköping (the county where Roxette’s concert will take place) broadcasted the interview with The Race Legends’ CEO Urban Stamming on January 28th, where he confirmed that Roxette would play the whole concert and everyone who buys the three-days ticket will be able to attend the gig. He even said that Roxette started rehearsals for this concert in Halmstad! (We do not know if it is true or not – I can only assume it’s a rumour). Urban wasn’t also sure if there are going to be more concert with Roxette in Europe in 2010.

So if you have a chance to visit Anderstorp, don’t miss it!
