I am really looking forward to the album. Dig the demo. And they are doing a great job with the updates and a/v posts.

I follow Wendy and Lisa on Twitter. The other day, they posted that Prince called Susannah telling her they couldn't use the Family name. Not sure if this has already been posted, but it'll be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Speed it up, funk/rock it out, give it live sound, not so studio-ish, and this really rocks. Funk/rock revival it.
It's nice, though, and I wanna hear more Family!

I agree with this all, except that I do kinda like the overproduced studio sound. Perhaps because we'd never seen The Family in a live environment before Family Jamm, I associate them a slightly overwrought sound, polish and packaging. I think it goes with their old glamour aesthetic. (Although it seems they've got a somewhat earthier vibe going now.)

wtf? falloff

what is he on? it's not like anyone except hardcores remember that group
and so what if they stick to their original name?

he didn't build an empire on their albums. they only had one. he should
be glad that they're still being productive and recording something now
in an environment where most music has gone to shit.

another sad move if it is true disbelief
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

It's true... I think that's why they're using the name "Family 2.0" now. Prince has no rights over the new name.

I like what I heard, very funky. I wonder if they asked Prince if they could use the Family name before they planned the release of this project. Unless he had immediate plans to reform the group using other folks, I don't quite understand what his problem is with it. If this is another hissy fit about ownership then IMO it's lame.

First The Time, now The Family, what did Shelia E have to do add a period behind the "E"to keep her stage name?!

Bring on the new product St. Paul. Under any name, ya'll funky!

Hey Kid, Lotus Flow3r better kick ass or else....
Who ever said Prince has lost it - has lost it. The Kid's still got game!

Oh, cool. I didn't know it was a demo. That's a bit different. Can't wait to hear the whole shebang!

they should sue him for mismanagement and cite that he should have no legal right to a trademark he allowed to go dormant in the market place.

Oh, this sends me back.... ERIC LEEDS! Oh. My. God. IS 2009 going to be a year? W&L have a fantastic album out, Prince is promising three intriguing pieces and now we have 1985/6/7 Paisley Park seeping out our speakers too.... I haven't smiled this much in a while.

We are all so quick to jump on Prince....but we don't know if this is true or not. He had no problem with The Time using the name so I find it hard to believe he would have issue here. Family 2.O sounds like a better name since Prince is not involved too.

It IS true Prince is not letting them use the name, not a rumor. He DID have a problem with the Time using the name, that's where Morris Day and the Time came from! It is hard to believe that he would have an issue with it, but he does! But from what I see, they sure look like they're having a lot of fun in the studio and this little snippet is a exactly what we all needed judging by the response so far!!! cool

Shame on Prince for doing that. From the outside looking in, he doesn't need to fuck with the name of the band. That's just silly but Prince isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. rolleyes
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

How do U know? wink
Question, any chance Doyle Branhall is playing on any of the guitar tracks?
I believe he is still married to Susannah. Would make sense.
I really liked the songs on the Video clips as well. Wonder how soon we'll hear/have some finished product. Looking forward to this.
Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way.

While I think it's too early to judge the song based on the demo version, I think Susannah sounds fantastic.

The Time was on the Michael Baisden show and they were asked about the name and said they spoke with Prince and he gave them his blessing as far as using the name for an album etc. On the The Family I was just speculating based on this information.
