More fDeluxe... please!

After waiting a couple of decades, I am so happy the gang gave us the "Gaslight" CD. I hope the reunion has been as equally fulfilling for the group too, but now I am wondering if more is to come. Things were going pretty steady there, with the launch of a promising website and connection to fans, live chats, amazing concerts played here and there, talk of a live album and videos.... but now I am disappointed it all seems too short-lived. Does anyone know what happening with fDeluxe now??? Are they planning another new CD or tour dates???? Why am I having such withdrawl??? (I love and miss them!)

Remember Gaslight was almost 2 or more years in the making, give it some time as all of the above takes time and money as I'm sure its all self produced. They are also working on an fb competition to remixes '@8'.

I am seeing them in concert next month. They are definitely still going strong. I hope they do autograph signings after the show!

I hope they come back to Los Angeles again...St. Paul, Jellybean and Eric Leeds were so gracious to all of the fans at the Largo. Right after the show, they sat down and signed autographs and thanked everyone for coming...real class!

I wonder does Jellybean have more creativity with FDeluxe than with the Time.. FDeluxe music & lyrical themes definately have wider theme range it would seem

Jellybean has more ability to go further with fDeluxe than with The Time. With The Time, Jellybean is in the back playing drummers. That is his spot. However, with fDeluxe, the admiration and love is there and he isn't pigeonholed into one spot. Jellybean starts out front playing guitar during the first few songs with fDeluxe and then he transitions to the drums. I believe he does have more input with fDeluxe.

^^^ I would think tha's the case, the photos I've seen he seems to be a bigger key player, and he's seem much more involved in the project. I've been following FDeluxe since they started to process, I want 2 see them with Sheila E in August

Jellybean plays a pivotal part in this group and the admiration and love is there. I have also followed this group, fDeluxe, since their inception. When Paul speaks about Jellybean, he always calls him his big brother.

Yeah, they do seem to be a group of equals, collaborators if you will, which judging by the results (musically and band interaction with fans) gives off a real positive vibe. they clearly enjoy what they're doing. I may not enjoy the whole gaslight project but I do recognise the commitment, willingness and openess they all display.

Good luck with the tour and I do look forward to future releases. cool

I agree, they are coming back together in a different space than 'the Time' which has a few ego's

And the seem to have a humbler appreciation and respect for their beginnings. To bad Jerome didn't take part in this
