Roxette radio docu on NYE

by

If you need something to cheer you up before this year’s New Year’s Eve party, the radio documentary about ”Look Sharp!” – the album, which is still their best as Per says – will be probably your thing. As you could already read it in our earlier articles, Tara Moshizi and Tove Meyer did interviews with Marie, Per, Clarence and Anders during the past months and they were talking about the album on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.

Save the date in your calendar!

Sveriges Radio P4: 31st December, 12:03 pm CET
Sveriges Radio P1: 31st December, 16:03 pm CET; 3rd January 18:15 pm CET

Tara and Tove have appr. 6 hours of raw material, but they cut it to a 50-minute-long documentary. Good news is that they will share some more of the raw material (i.e. the interviews or parts of them) online after the docu has been broadcasted. Stay tuned!

More interviews for the Roxette radio documentary

by

You might remember our earlier article about the radio documentary celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Look Sharp!”. Tove Meyer and Tara Moshizi are now ready with all the interviews. And yeah x 3: Marie will also appear in the docu, since she was interviewed today! There are not too many interviews with her these days, so it’s awesome that there will be a chance to hear her again.

Show will be on air in December. We will let you know about the exact date and time.

Songs on the new Roxette DVD / Blu-ray and live CD

by

Last week we already informed you about the content of the upcoming Roxette DVD / Blu-ray and Per added his comments on it regarding what the DVD and the Blu-ray really contain.

Now the lists of songs are also published on a Bulgarian website (Radio N-JOY) both for the live part of the DVD and the live CD. The text says the DVD presents a complete live show including 90 minutes of the most inspiring and energetic performances on stage by Roxette, recorded in Curitiba in Brazil, Cordoba in Argentina and Santiago in Chile. They are not mentioning any other countries, so there might not be that much of a mix of the crowd scenes as in the TV cut. Not sure if the stage views are not only from Santiago as it was in the TV cut. At least, it gives us hope that constant cuts in the DVD version are also changed. We’ll see it when the DVD is out on 6th December, 2013.

Regarding ”Silver Blue” as a bonus track the article says: ”fans’ favourite song for live performance all around the world, forcing Roxette to add it to the setlist”.

In one of our earlier posts on Facebook we shared a link Roxette Cafe found and there we could see the teaser for the docu and the cover of the docu part. Not sure if it’s still the real deal, as Per posted another pic as how the DVD cover will look like.

Update at 14:30 CET, 1st November: this might be the real deal (however, the letters in the title are not put down in a straight line… hm… hm…). Cover pic shared by Orpheus Music in Bulgaria. Looks better than the one Per shared (I guess that one was a draft attached to the documents to get the certificate in Germany), but still not as energetic as the one shared by GAD. That cover pic is expressing more what the World Tour was about.

Photo on the cover is from 24/07/2011, Slottsskogsvallen, Göteborg (Thanx, Roxette Cafe for letting us know.)

 

Update by Per regarding the cover – the one HE shared earlier:

Yes yes, this is the upcoming Dec 6 release of the DVD/BluRay. Lots of covers are floating around, I’m getting dizzy!

Thanx for finding the source of info and letting us know, Celestte Williams.

Roxette – radio documentary

by

Tara Moshizi and Tove Meyer from Sveriges Radio are doing a radio documentary on Roxette. They already did interviews with Clarence Öfwerman and Anders Herrlin in September and it seems that the interview with Mr G took place today.

The documentary will be broadcasted on P1 and P4 Sveriges Radio – so, of course, it will be in Swedish – during Christmas holidays this December. We will let you know about the exact date once it’s announced.

It’s gonna be a busy December for us, Roxers. 😉

Update by Per on 26th Oct:

Did a long but interesting interview with Swedish Radio yesterday! It was all about Look Sharp’s 25th Anniversary. Will be broadcast pretty soon on P1 + P4 in Sweden. Look forward to hear the interviews with Clarence + Anders Herrlin! I’m sure they remember totally different things than me….
