why do you call it Oz by the way?

A better question would probably be......when are Roxette going to the moon .......that would be the more likely scenario ;)

If they know the first girl on the moon they have travelled enough :DDD

Well, Unless a promoter and EMI are willing to back them, it’s unlikely in the near future.

P.S. They last toured here in the Summer of 95.

Vix: LOL sadly you are right!

can someone answer my question please?

EMI thinks its a sort of country like in ’the wizard of Oz’..... A country that doesn’t really exist, that’s why they don’t take it serious.....
That’s why they call Australia Oz here in Smalltalk ;-)
JAAP
btw. They think lots of countries are Oz.......

According to what Aftonbladet article says today:

“Jobbar i studion
Och han hoppas på att snart ha sin kollega tillbaka.
– Det som händer parallellt med att Marie blir bättre är att jag fortsätter att jobba med promotionarbete runt om i världen med den här plattan. Sedan jobbar vi i studio också, faktiskt. Vi hoppas att kunna färdigställa lite mer material någon gång framåt jul, januari, säger Gessle i intervjun.”

Working in the studio
And he hopes to have his partner back soon.
What happens at the same time as Marie gets better is that I go on with the promotion AROUND THE WORLD with this CD. Then we are actually going to work in the studio also. We hope we are able to complete some more material some time for Christmas, January, says Gessle in the interview.”

It’s funny, he says around the world (runt om i världen). Maybe he visits Australia and Japan as well... But he didn’t talk about the Land of Oz...

I got a reply from Graham at EMI and it doesn’t even look like they will release this Ballad hits album in Australia much less a tour! This is what he said:

“no confirmed release as yet!
your best bet is to order from importers.”

Looks like I’ll order from the fanclub...

Vixzter said on October 16, 2002 05:37:

LOL ....have they been talking to EMI UK????

RobS said on October 16, 2002 10:52:

Didn’t ??? post a message a while back that he received a message from EMI and they said they will definetly be releasing the album early next year, what’s changed since then??

And who do you send your emails too, i use the feedback page on the website and i’ve never got a reply back from anyone except to say that “the message will be forwarded the appropriate person”?

Hotblooded said on October 17, 2002 02:44:

I send my e-mails to Graham Ashton who handles Roxette stuff in Australia, I don’t know but I got a reply from him once and have kept his e-mail and used it since he almost always replies! Can’t give it out though since he gets touchy if we gang up on him :-)

I’m not waiting for the release here like I would normally do especially if they are talking of not releasing it at all!

ditroia said on October 17, 2002 06:38:

Well H’es not replying to me, must be still pissed off at me Mwaahahahaha :)

If anyone wants his addy email me

RobS said on October 17, 2002 10:58:

well my emails seem to be getting lost somewhere!

I think i do have graham ashtons address somewhere, i might try and dig it up and see what he says :)

If they do make it to Australia, I hope they swing by New Zealand while they’re at it. This country NEEDS Roxette!
