Saw them in a tiny place (Cafe Montmartre in Madison) around that time or a little later, the height of the lounge resurgence. The place was packed, and the band was hot. It was a most memorable show. I recall someone remarking CE seemed to play to the first five rows of a cavernous BF venue. Maybe that was the only way they could keep their sanity in a most unsuitable place like that. Also, I'd heard so much about Rufus W last year but had to admit I was totally unimpressed. I'd say he needs a more intimate space also.

On reading the story below I think we should consider ourselves lucky that it's only headlines about who Ferry is dating, or not dating that we have had to read about of late. It puts all of the stuff that has been writen into perspective. While not a Roxette fan I do wish the lady well. Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson has been admitted to hospital suffering from a brain tumour, according to reports. Her record label EMI Sweden says medical tests showed the singer has a small tumour in the back of her head. But it says more tests are needed to determine proper treatment. The tumour was detected after Marie fainted in her Stockholm home last week, reports Sky News. Swedish duo Roxette were due to launch their new single A Thing About You in three weeks. They are also due to start a European tour in late October. (c) Copyright Ananova Ltd 2002, all rights reserved. Tom.

Looked at the pics, it's obvious that these guys are trying to live their dream. The lead singer obviously has studied Ferry, from the poses and pulled faces he thinks he is. Should look in the mirror though, and admit defeat. Lets be honest, there are so many people who want to be Mr Eff, I can't imagine a German or Dutch guy portraying the geordie man well. Best impersonation of Ferry in my book was David Sylvian of Japan, didn't look like Bryan, but the voice was fantastic, your thoughts, any one. Has anybody heard them play? Are they any good, be honest.
