Here is a picture of the band preparing for the upcoming shows! Thank you Jonas for sending it to me to share with everyone! Very, very exciting...



I love getting to see this kind of "realness", getting to see the band working behind the scenes.

Email to me from Jonas:

Hi! What an audience! This must be top 3 alltime for us. They went "bananas"
and were so happy afterwords. They said 2500 persons had bought tickets and
the arranger of this event was so happy!
Before the gig we met some fans and after it we all went "clubhopping" after signing
some more autographs etc...
See you soon!

Ciao-Jonas

---> thesheaf.com/sports/2011/08/13/lgbt-athletes-ace-of-base-go-all-out-for-the-outgames/ - summary of Vancouver Outgames. "The big draw, however, was Ace of Base. Transported from the ’90s, the Swedish pop band blasted through their catalogue of hit songs. The crowd sang along to every word of “The Sign,” “Cruel Summer” and “Beautiful Life” as if they were only just released last week."

---> www.homorazzi.com/article/vancouver-pride-2011-pictures-outgames-ace-of-base-wynter-gordon-dj-adam-dreaddy-tfd-presents/#ixzz1WWuRlmb0 - "Although the two girls are not the original two from the group, they were extremely talented and totally stepped up as the groups new leading ladies. I have SUCH a blast dancing to their old hits, including “All That She Wants,” “Beautiful Life,” and so many others. It was a major time warp for me, taking me back to my days in junior high."
