Here is the article from Annette Svensson on http://www.gylleneskor.se/:

BWO AND THE FANS

As Martin Rolinski says: BWO is nothing without its fans, that gives us the opportunity to express ourselves and our music. So now when BWO is releasing a new album and has their 5th birthday, also the fanclub releases a new site.

The fanclub that is 3 years and was started by Thomas Schmidt, one of BWO's German fans, open a totally new and fresh site Sunday 1st of February. The fanclub exisits in 9 languages.

Thomas Schmidt who is behind the fanclub, discovered BWO when they released "Living In A Fantasy" and was sold from the beginning. So, on 15th of March 2006 the first website was opened.

5 days later he got Alexander Bard's agreement and a commitment was done to cooperate.

As BWO was a totally new band, there was no fanclub in Germany and Thomas wanted to change that. Now the fanclub has grown and has almost fans from all continents.

There are fans speaking different languages, so commitments have been developed between the fans in the different countries. The new website is a result of the commitment between fans in different countries.

BWO FanClub Worldwide has also a sistersite called Electronordica. Nicolas GĂ©rin from Belgium is leading that site.

I had the opportunity to ask some questions to Thomas, who is with no doubt one of the biggest BWO fans. I wondered how it is to be a BWO fan. Due to Thomas there are no bad days.

You only need to put on an album with BWO and you get happy. Though he says that it can be hard to get material about BWO if you live in certain parts of the world. That is also a reason why the fanclub tries to stay as international as possible.

The ultimate BWO tune is Barcelona, Thomas thinks. That one includes everything that makes BWO so special.

For the future Thomas wants the fanclub to be the direct link between BWO and the fans.

The fanclub should make everything easier for BWO in their work, but also take care of the fans and give them the latest news. He wants to be there for the fans to help BWO out, answer questions and try to fulfill the fans's wishes. The fanclub should't only be a club, more as a lifestyle... a fanlife!

Around the Final in Globen and the fanclub's 3 years birthday and BWO's 5 years birthday, there will be a big fanmeeting in Stockholm the 15th of March. One girl is coming all way from Japan.
