BERGEN -

Mazarinerna consisted this time of MP Persson, guitar; Jens Jansson, drums; Clarence Öfwerman, keyboards, Helena Josefsson, backup vocals; Magnus Börjesson, bass guitar and Christoffer Lundquist, guitar. Per comments the gig: “Bergen was a gas! Very heavy! This band composition is the most fun I’ve ever played with…”

I think “WE” don’t want to know about this!
lol. Cool - nver really been into the swedish songs due to language barriars! But it’s good to know that one of our favourite duo is still rocking and not thinking about growing old (Not that I think Marie is under the obvious circumstances!)

@ Wonderful Baloon: I do not think it will be the same setlist in Stockholm, even if it sure would be cool. He will most likely only play like 2 songs. 3 tops. But I do think it will be the same bandmembers though. I really hope for MP anyways.

@ little-miss-sorrow: I’ve posted some more pics on r2r that include Helena as well (+ I have some more). She looked really hot last night, and she was super sweet afterwards ;) She’s constantly smiling on stage, and gives you hilarious funny looks sometimes, hehe.

Magnus Börjesson is an allround musician that used to be a member of the Swedish band Beagle. He worked some on the Mazarin album, he’s a GREAT bass player, an AMAZING guitarist and a good songwriter, and besides, he’s nicer than most. He also has cocky instruments, totally in Per’s taste. Not to mention his good looking suits, says Per. ;)

The pics and especially Per’s hair are really BAD!!!

@tevensso - thanks :)
Per hair is different :) He should return to his Mazarin/ GT25 hairdo :)

I wonder what Roxetters think of he saying that’s the funniest formation he’s ever played with :P
Oh, and about the hair, the Edward Scissorhands’ look he had back in Joyride looked best to him, he should go back to that :D
Joyrider_Malin said on September 6, 2005 09:38:
I love his hair in those pix, longer than in Mazarin pretty ;P
gyllene_tjej said on September 6, 2005 16:07:
hehe, instead of getting happy with the report we got, we discuss his hair issue again :D:D:D If so, let me adsd that I also want his MAzarin/ GT25 style back...and gimme back Anders, he’s THE bass player, or what? Him producing Marie’s DSR was one of his greatest contributions to the world of music hahaha ;)
