Dags att tänka på refrängen

#gtsommar Second concert in Halmstad on Aug 7

by

Though we have expected this to be announced since Saturday due to the Coop leak, we were still suprised with the new date for the second Gyllene Tider Halmstad concert. It won’t happen on July 6, day after tour’s premiere as we previously thought, but a month later on August 7 between Örnsköldsvik and Skövde gigs. Probably a good comment for them not playing three gigs in a row would be “hey, they’re not 50 anymore” 😉

Tickets will go on sale tomorrow, January 31 at 9:00 am CET at Ticnet.se. It makes the tour longer a little bit longer and bigger with 19 dates announced (so far).

  2. Gyllene Tider: Dags att tänka på refrängen – album release (release date varies at different online music stores); a compilation album called “Soldans på din grammofon” will also be released, but we have no info about any date yet

 

  • May: Marie’s birthday (I couldn’t leave this month blank) 😉

 

  • June: all GT tour participants are being prepared for juli och augusti 😉

 

 

 

  • September: or better said ”after summer”, as no exact date is given yet: Sven Lindström’s Roxette biography is out. As Sven informed The Daily Roxette, the book will be available in English.

  • December: Xmas (at least for lots of us) 😉

 

We hope to fill in the gaps with some Marie Fredriksson, alias Ms Effe 😉 projects as well. We’ll keep you informed about any news.

 

 

#gtsommar Exclusive Swedish radio interview with Per and Micke

by

Per and Micke did an exclusive 11-minute interview for the Swedish public radio last Friday. They talked about how they come to work together and recording of the new album. Per revealed that Gyllene Tider has discussed a comeback from 2008, but there was always something that stopped them from doing this. On the new album they will try to repeat “the classic GT sound” so to speak, with a lot of Farfisa organs in the background. Per is not sure when the album goes out, but he hopes it would be April. The first single is not really ready yet and they haven’t chosen it yet, but there will be in fact a tune called “Singel”. They plan to include two ballads on the album max, according to Per. Speaking of double meaning of the title, Per also mentioned that they have recorded a song called “Dags att tänka på refrängen” as well.

On the Gyllene Tider’s Instagram profile the official tour poster was posted. Additionally in many regional daily papers around Sweden ads for certain GT concerts were published – this is one of examples for Gothenburg, with a different background than the official poster.

Additionally the band did a short video where they announce the ticket sale. At the very beginnig of sale over 20,000 people tried to book tickets through Ticnet.se.
