World Tour 2011: Warsaw Video Bootleg

by

4 weeks ago we published the audio bootleg from the Warsaw concert that took place on June 19, 2011. Now it’s a high time for the video follow up. If you are familiar with “Gessle Over Poland” masterpiece (both in audio and picture), so we can promise you will get the same excellently blurry quality of picture and a lot of unnecessary bonus materials.

Big thanks to Damian Kaplita for recording the concert, CooperStudio for doing the menu and mixing the staff and all others whose pictures and clips are used in this DVD.

It took some time to do it, but we do hope you will enjoy watching this bootleg as much as we hated working on this project (we’re just cracking jokes, you know :-).

Roxette are in Canada – the first concert today!

by

Roxette with the band have finally arrived to Ottawa, Canada where they are going to play their very first full North American concert in 20 years! As the promotional campaign is in the full speed, Per Gessle gave several interviews for both radio and print outlets.

Here are the most interesting quotes from him from OttawaCitizen.com

“Two countries in the world released the first Roxette album – it was Canada and Sweden, Gessle says of the group’s 1986 debut, Pearls of Passion. We have a very long relationship with Canada. It’s always been amazing.”

But as much fun as they’re having, Gessle admits that a long break after the tour will be best for band and fans alike. “Everyone is on their knees by now, he says of the gruelling schedule.And how can you miss us if we won’t go away?”

Per also did a 5-question Q&A for Lite 95.7 based in Edmonton. Have a listen!
