Roxette LIVE :)

Heeeeeyyyy! 🙂 How is everyone’s week going so far? I hope to upload a few posts tonight but I think I may have overestimated what I’ll be able to manage as I’m pretty tired… As I was up late last night at the Roxette concert!

Roxette, as many of you know, are a Swedish pop group who were big in the 1980s and early-mid 1990s. (They have actually released albums since and their latest album, Charm School, was released last year. Another album is reportedly due out at the end of next month, Travelling.) As a kid I grew up listening to a lot of their music and was excited to hear they are doing a world tour after all these years, and visiting my home city! Australia is the first stop on their tour and you can read more about the cities they will be visiting on the tour here: http://roxetteblog.com/world-tour-2012/

The concert was absolutely EXCELLENT!!!!! I actually think that they sound better live than they do on their CDs. It was a fun night and they played a huge range of songs, including some of their most famous such as “The Look” and “Listen to Your Heart”. If Roxette are visiting your city I strongly recommend going to their concert! 🙂

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a lot of photos (long story!) but here are few from the night 🙂 …

opening act, 1927 (80s Australian rock band who I hadn't heard of before, but they were really good on the night!)

Marie! 🙂

Has anyone else seen Roxette in concert? What did you think of them? 🙂 Whilst it was great I think David Bowie’s concert here in Adelaide a few years ago remains my #1 concert experience!
