The Family update (kinda)

Hey fellow fans of The Family. I spoke with Paul Peterson at last weekend's Sheila E show in mpls. He said that he and Susannah were in the studio together last month and just completed three "VERY FUNKY" songs for the new project.
He said the biggest issues is just finding time to record together. Here's hoping they find the time cause I really want to hear these tracks!headbang

What do you prefer, Prince's music BEFORE or AFTER he became a vegetarian?
I have no further questions, Your Honour smile

If a man is guilty for what goes on in his mind then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes.

I'm interested in a new release by The Family, I'd like for it to happen, BUT let's face it their self-titled debut was 100% a Prince record with brass help from Eric Leeds and strings courtesy of Clare Fischer. Anything they do on their own now really has no relation to THE FAMILY. And its not like The Time where we knew they kicked ass live b/c The Family really never toured.

Yeah, The Family release was basically a Prince album but it's not like it was a Vanity or Appolonia 6 project. These people are all talented musicians. Paul, Susannah, Jellybean and Eric are all capable of bringing that mpls funk to the table on their own. I've seen them all live with separate projects so I have no doubts they could kick ass together...although I wouldn't hold my breath on the hopes that they'll actually tour. We'll have to wait and see what they manage to pull off.

River Run Dry was a good song and P had nothing to do with that other than asking Claire for his input

Has anyone seen my activator?

All I got to say is this - if Prince was still producer of The Family, the album woulda been out a year ago already!

I'm having this dream in which I get a new W&L album, Edith Funker, and the Family all in one year. I could seriously die happy.
