After over a year of waiting (and we all know that Roxette fans CAN actually wait very long for things to happen) we are finally very close to releasing the video bootleg from the Warsaw 2011 concert at the Torwar Hall. At this point we are only releasig the audio recordig which is a great preview what you will be able to see in a great quality pretty soon. Big hand for Blanka Pentela for doing amazingly nice artwork and Damian Kaplita for recording the show on his proff camera.
Enjoy & get ready for even more in the coming weeks – from both Warsaw 2011 and Gdansk/Sopot 2012. In both audio and picture. Polish fans like to please you all 😉

As revealed some months ago, Swedish author Sven Lindström (“Att vara Per Gessle” in 2007) is preparing a new biography about Roxette. An interview with “Sydsvenskan” now confirmed the ongoing work. He visited Roxette at the South American tour and is now waiting for more interviews to complete the book for a likely release in 2013. Sven about the project:
It’s a pretty unlikely story, both about how they broke through, and how they came back a few years ago. There will also be an insight into the fans’ relationship to the band.
It is a dramatic story that this band has been through, and I think it will be quite surprising when you see the big picture. They have done a trip like no band in Sweden have done.
