Text from the link below:

A rep for His Purpleness has exclusively revealed to PerezHilton.com a message from The Artist himself!

Purple Electricity

Calling all Purpleheadz: ready 2 get plugged in?

From the 24th on, there will b a slew of NPG-related events happening around electric LAlaland.. we don't want 2 give away all the details yet, but b prepared 2 get yo groove on, numerous ways 4 numerous days. We know $ is tite but the adventures will b worth ur while! Stay 2ned 2 this outtaspacestation.

Like we'd listen to any other kind of station!

Both of those sites are starting to loose their rep status with me

One main reason: both have unreliable sources.

End of transmission.

this has already been reported on dr funkenberry, hasnt it???

Yes, Perez keeps posting these saying he has the 'exclusive' after they've been posted & discussed on Dr. FB & here.

toots said:

I don't know why you'd say that, what has Dr.FB been wrong about lately?

Perez is so vile and witless. If Prince is feeling it necessary to associate himself with a celebrity gossip blog, I wish he'd find a different one than PH.

It's called Viral marketing. It's cheap and gets the word out. Perez gets about 5 million hits a month which means people are reading about Prince and MAY actually go to target and BUY his album. That is the point of selling music right?

Exactly, same type of marketing advertisers do when airing their product during programs with high viewership, with a strong possibility it attracts consumers who "MAY" (like you stated) purchase their product. It's worth taking the risk. Smart marketing and its about business, to say the least.

That's very true.

johno2 said:

DR FB reported this on SAT...think about it...

Perez is getting way TOO sloppy

Wasn't the contest for the Gansevoort show in NYC in October, also promoted through Perez's site as well at the same time it was conducted at HQ/Org? Because I remember meeting a fan who won tickets tickets to that show from Perez's site. So who knows, maybe he gets the info from DrFB or they both have the same contacts.

I guess Prince and Perez musta patched things up since 11/7/07.

I dont really care where I get the info from, as long as I get it.

What I dont understand is why Prince's PR people dont post upcoming events on his offical site, or at least hints. Come on, these are smart people, they can create a "news only" section.

His shows would sell out faster and maybe people wouldnt talk so much crap.


I remember Prince's people came out to the "avalon" line and asked us where we got our event info. 99% of the crowd said "DR. FB".

The question should have never been asked. Event info should have been posted on Prince's official website. There would have been a hell of alot more people standing in line that night.

Prince's concerts/shows shouldnt been a "secret" or a last minute post. The majority of us are waiting on these shows and are the first to want to spend our hard earned $$$.

amorbella said:

Guess I just got what I asked for...

thanks Lotusflow3r

It looks like Prince got a PR team. I emailed Perez and asked if he swiped the news. He says it was fed to him from Prince's PR team.

Must be those ding dongs that did the Avalon show. Roger and Company. I dont remember.

Dr FuckedBarry and Perez I think are lame, but as Wahday pointed out, its cheap and it gets the word out.

I wish he would just do shows. And use his website for news services instead of all the other sites that in two seconds would bash Prince if something unsavory came out.

Well at least he has an official PR team, let's see how they do.
Trying to have high hopes I'd like Prince to be successful again cus Michael Jackson is gonna kill his 21 Night Reign

Wahday said:

It's definitely cheap, and I guess it's marketing, that's true, can't argue those facts.

2elijah said:

I just think smarter marketing would be finding other ways to get the word out without resorting to affiliating yourself with a scummy gossip blog.

positivity have u had your + sign today?

purplecam said:

Agree!

The way Prince (or his representatives, whoever) writes his announcements just gets cornier and cornier as the years go by.....LOL.

toots said:

Cor, someone left there sense of humour at home..

I wonder where he'll be having his CD release party??

I hope he blows shit up with ALL new music! I'd LOVE to see a review where all the non-diehards are complaining that he didn't do any hits. I understand and appreciate (for the most part) that he has a vast catalogue of hits that he can not ignore but...once and a while he could say f*ck it!

Coming over to the usa in June. NY/Mpls and Vegas. If he is still playing may have to take a detour to LA. WHat are the chances?

this news has been posted about a kajillion times already. it's on the news page.
