I would love to attend this concert. I sure do hope they come stateside. I would love to travel, but the only Australia I can afford is at Outback Steakhouse...

Apologies beforehand I'm not familiar with all the aged versions of people here Who's in the band? I can only determine Morris Levi? Kirk ...?

From all reports the club shows they did in Europe were very funky. I think the original NPG members coming down to Australia are Kirk, Damon, Tony M with longtime NPG keyboard player/MD Morris Hayes who was obviously with Prince for many many years.

Thank you. I didn't figure they'd do FB, assumed it was no longer "hip". I'm not digging this Mackenzie guy....but then again i only saw KISS. He sounded like bad karaoke...straining even. I could do better, (but it'd be imitating as well)...I'll check out the other times when it's not half past midnight

Bad karaoke,

Mono Neon is on the Poster ...

i wish i could have seen the last Prince Band with mono neon on bass. this style was so much more what i like than the 3rd eye girl rock...

The Peach and Black guys will be there. Their interview with Morris Hayes is mind blowing. They didn't ask many music questions but there I blame Captain. hehe.

Mono needs to team up with Buckethead. Good match music styles.

That's what I thought! But the repo man has made it clear to me that I'm all tapped out!

Too bad Outback Steakhouse has absolutely nothing to do with Australia LOL

American restaurant serving American food, why do people even think it's Australian ?

Hey guys! This is Ameda Colburn. Just coming throught to let you guys know that a woman named Laydee Lisa is who you want to watch for during the NPG's Australia tour. She messaged me a couple of months ago to tell me that the NPG had hired her as their official PR person. Wanted to post her link for you guys so you can get familiar with her https://www.facebook.com/ThePRLaydee

Same here!

Really looking forward to Wednesday night in Sydney

Hump day is going to get FUNKY!!!

Hi Purple Peeps,

Went to the Sydney concert tonight.

Pluses

- They were absolutely fantastic and funky. Great musicians, great vocals, great fun! Kip Blackshire was incredible, Andre Cymone was great and looks amazingly fit, Tamar was a ball of energy (although she speaks like Minnie Mouse), and Mackenzie will be a rock star - he has huge stage presence. His moves were a mix of MJ and Michael Hutchence.

- The music. 'Nuff said.

Minuses - Very little, but for me too much "Wave your hands in the air", "Everybody clap now", Tony M's rap.

I would highly recommend them to everyone but understand some people don't like these "tribute acts" and only want to see his songs performed by him.

Love to all,

KevinB

Sydney concert was way better then I expected. I was worried it would be Prince Karaoke, but by changing the vocalist often, nobody was over-profiling themself or 'pretending' to be Prince. The music was as tight as ever and the whole feeling was celebratory. It just allowed the fans to feel that feeling again as with the ausdience and band being more of a community.

The band members were very approachable and gracious at the afterparty at the Bank Hotel.

Here is the FULL MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA SHOW and the user put pics of the after party at the end of the vid!

Thanks for sharing!

Saw the second Byron Bay Bluesfest show last night. Great stuff. As close as we will ever get to a true Prince experience again. My respect for all these guys increased ten fold. Mr. Hayes is an outright legend.

Sydney show was great, met most of them at the afterparty which was cool
