EUROPE Singer Is A First-Time Father

October 18, 2007

EUROPE singer Joey Tempest (real name: Rolf Magnus Joakim Larsson) and his wife Lisa welcomed their first child, a boy named James Joakim, on Friday, October 12 at a hospital in London, England.

An eight-minute video interview with Joey Tempest conducted at the Arrow Rock Festival 2007, which was held June 30 in Biddinghuizen, Holland, can be viewed below.

EUROPE's new CD, "Secret Society", was released in the U.S. on November 7, 2006 via Sanctuary Records.

Although the band members chose to produce the album themselves, they relied on the support of highly experienced studio professionals. Lennart Östlund, longtime engineer at the legendary Polar Studios in Stockholm, recorded the sessions in his new Stockholm studio, Kingside. Lennart has worked with countless international artists over the years, including LED ZEPPELIN, SCORPIONS, just to name a few. Mixing duties were handled by Stefan Glaumann while the mastering was taken care of by George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York. The band didn't want to leave anything to chance, so they enlisted the legendary Storm Thorgerson to design the album's artwork.
