MENTION OF ATLANTA BLISS (1998)?

Googling for "Matt Blistan", I came up with this. I wonder if this is what Atlanta´s been up to after his stint with Prince?

Sure it does, somewhere in the middle. Matt Blistan is the man´s Christian name, you know?

I skimmed over it, it was such a brief mention. I seriously doubt that this is Atlanta Bliss, but you never know...

Granted, it might not be AB - but - lo and behold - he is mentioned, beyond a shadow of doubt, on the home page of Three Rivers entertainment:

" This band [AfterDark], formed from some of Pittsburgh's finest veteran musicians, features the song stylings of Lisa Ferraro, and Nick Dibattiste. Lisa Ferraro formally studied music at Duquesne University's prestigious school of music. In addition to being selected by Marvin Hamlisch to perform at Heinz Hall with the Pittsburgh Symphony, Lisa also was commissioned to write and sing a dedication to the legendary Roberto Clemente by Major League Baseball. Nick DiBattiste is probably best known for recording, engineering and producing a full length CD with many of his original compositions. In addition to regional airplay and sales, his CD "Killing Time" has received rave reviews in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and In Pittsburgh Newsweekly. Nick is also well known for his dazzling guitar work in a number of Bands and recording projects.


Also featured in this band are Matt Blistan and Tommy Bellin. Matt recorded and toured with pop legend "Prince" as well as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Kahn and Sheila E. These performances earned Matt four Platinum Albums, 4 Gold Albums and a Grammy Award. Matt has performed extensively in the U.S., England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Japan. "

Sorry about the long quote, just thought I´d throw in a few names just in case somebody´s interested. I don´t know when that page was last updated, though.
