Tour launched in August-September?
Written by roxeteer on February 2, 1999 to Misc.
According to EMI Finland the negotiations for a live tour are already going on. The decision will be made in March and the tour is going to be announced in April-May. This means that the tour will be launched in August-September, except if they are going to perform on summer festivals. It’s also very likely that the tour is going to premiere in Helsinki, Finland again, just like all their previous tours.
However, they are going to see how the album sells before any decisions are made.

Written by roxeteer on February 1, 1999 to Misc.
Brainpool has recently released their new single, “You Are Here”, on the Internet. Net surfers can listen to the song through Shockwave Streaming Audio (yes, you probably have to download few megabytes of stuff on your computer to get it working).
The new track is sung by Brainpool’s guitarist David Birde. Janne Kask, band’s former lead singer, left the band in the autumn of 1997. He has just got his own solo album to the shops.
Brainpool was found by Per’s record company Jimmy Fun Music in the early 90’s. Brainpool’s bass guitar player Christoffer Lundquist plays also on Roxette’s new album.

Per on the Net - he may be watching you!
Written by roxeteer on January 31, 1999 to Misc.
“Once Per Gessle and friends sat down to write postcards to get ’Flickorna på TV2’ on Poporama. Later he did the same thing with Roxette’s ’Neverending Love’ which became #1 on Sommartoppen.”
Today he uses the Internet, tells Jan-Owe Wikström on Hallandsposten. “[…] sometimes he connects to the Net like an ordinary man (with another name, though) and plants seeds of news and calms down rumours on Roxette’s home pages. Just to let you know.”
