fDeluxe to share Prince's gift soon!

Saw on fDeluxe's Facebook page that they got another email from Prince to share what he sent them! It also alluded to them opening up for him in Australia! Pretty cool!

If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in!

Interesting...

My guess it's some rehearsal snippet of a Family or Fdeluxe track...

I don't think the post is really "alluding" to them opening the Australia shows, I think that's just wishful thinking on Fdeluxe's part - putting the idea out there. Would be cool though. C'mon Prince! The Family are up and running, The Revolution are up and running, Sheila E (as always) is up and running, The Time are (more or less) up and running... The 'Minneapolis Sound' Tour!! The time is right!!

"gotta Stop messin about" and have The Family open for you. Ma'fact...always have a royal kingdom band as opener be it Sheila, The Time. Andre, etc etc. You and I and the rest of us are all getting too old for anything else anymore. Everything has been proven...the record company battles, the comebacks, the legacy. Now it's time to bring everyone home. As a whole and not in pieces. This is more pressing than remasters actually.

Call me naive, but last year with those two associate acts reuniting, I had this idea that they would open for Prince in a triple threat show. (Even if he screwed both regarding their names.)

Errr...yes, hold the phone!

Either this is one of P's biggest teases ever, or this might actually be about to happen:

The answer's in the music?

A bit more info, thanks to Neil Richards, who just posted this on the offical tour Facebook page:

"Weirdly Fdeluxe (who were put together by Prince and are managed by me) received an email from Prince's camp a few days ago. We weren't sure what to make of it at first - it was 2 songs Paul Peterson had been involved in - but it appears as if they were giving us our own sneak preview. While we can't share it - thats up to them to do so - we did say we would spread the word about what we heard and say to my fellow Aussies this is show that shouldn't be missed . BTW, anyone who knows me knows that myself, my team and Prince and his team don't always see eye to eye but without prejudice I can say what i heard was very clever and extremely funky!"

I really tried with this one (obviously), but it's moments like this that I get really over it...

...I don't mind the chase, tbh, I just grow weary of the constant red herrings, particularly when something that we clearly want is dangled right in front of us, only to be yanked away.

I think there's more to this 'musical gift' than the song 'Mutiny' - don't forget TO7 had access to this 'gift' first

I reckon the next live jam is some sort of medley reworking The Family and The Time classics with the message that both (and who knows: Sheila, W&L, The Revolution) will join NPG and Prince on tour

The chase is all good and well if the carrot at the end of the string is edible.

Reportedly Terry Lewis contacted Prince about opening up for him in Austrailia so who know what's going to happen. It seems there are surprises in store for the fans. Makes me hope whatever they've put together makes it's way back to the States.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I think Prince has always been worried of it all becoming like a oldies reunion tour, but with all his satellites bands (Time, Family and a little bit Revolution) doing new stuff maybe Prince's fears are mellowing a bit.

Yes yes...except on the Revolution, if we're just talking the band itself and no Prince involvement.

Their setlist pretty much, random scoop here and there, is what Prince plays as among his greatest hits these days.

(Or cite me for lacking imagination.)
