#Roxette - While can’t stop listening to the remake or watching the making of video, don’t miss out on the KappAhl interview with #PerGessle about the project and more! Check it at the link below! /PP Complete interview: http://www.kappahl.com/thelook#interview Parts of the interview: :) What is the The Look about/what does it stand for? PG: ”What is it about? Explaining lyrics doesn't help. I never do that. It is up to each person to interpret them in their own way. That is how all art becomes personal. It is about you! The most important thing about all expression is to feel, not necessarily understand. For me it means cocky, young, direct power pop that makes me laugh and smile and live.” What makes a person beautiful? PG: ”Some people have the good fortune to be born with an attractive appearance. But it isn't always so straightforward. Beauty is in the eyes and the body language. I think it helps if you are happy in your skin. Then you are automatically beautiful.” About the fans: PG: ”Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves to remind us that we would be nothing without our fans and our audience. They are what gives us positive energy and mean that we never get tired.” Greatest passion outside music? PG: ”I am interested in my family, modern art, design, photography and Formula 1. In that order. And wine is fun.” What do you like to do most when are taking a break from music? PG: ”I never take a break. My wife says I should.” Listen to The Look 2015 Remake: https://play.spotify.com/album/1KhfyT7XIOMhl2amP6Wdxr The making of video (stills are from this one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHcUAXfxedo

Thank you, Eskobar!
Unfortunately, that Roxette 30th Anniversary tour (European leg) is coming to an end also means that we have to say bye to Eskobar. After yesterday’s show in Halmstad, it’s just 3 shows left with Eskobar as special guest, so we wanted to take the chance to thank Daniel, Frederik and Jocke for making the time […]

“They are one of the biggest bands to come out of Sweden, and this film shows them in a new light. It was filmed during their tours from 1988 to 1995, and of course with Jonas Akerlund directing, it has a real art feel to it, he’s very brave with this material,” Svante Tidholm, Way Out West’s Head of Film Programming told Screen.'' - Screen Daily

Roxette at home
Between the organization of the fans at the gate and the tight security, no one needed to or was allowed to run to the front row. For the most part, everything was very calm and orderly. Big relief. This being my first concert since 2012, I deliberately refused to memorize the setlist ahead of

World premier of the 'Roxette Diaries' at the Way Out West 2015 festival!
“Everything (and more) happened to Roxette between 1986 and 1995. This was the era where a videocamera wasn’t something you saw every day. The technical quality you would get was so-so but today I’m really happy we covered hundreds of hours of film from there magic years.
The ambition was to shoot everything. Studio-sessions, back-stage-parties, rehearsals. My wife, Åsa, was the commander-in-chief when it came to capture promo- and TV-shows as well as the extensive touring all over the world.
All in all I gave about 180 Hi-8/VHS-tapes to director Jonas Åkerlund and asked him if he and his team could do something special with it. Maybe create a movie that captured the spirit of Roxette in the early days as well as being honest, silly and fun to watch.
Hey, I think they succeeded. Enjoy the Roxette Diaries.”
