Andrea Swensson and DJ Mary Lucia have said they will broadcast a brand new Prince song.

Of course this could be 'Screw Driver'

He just keeps on coming, I love it.

Prince found one of his new band members on myspace?

well if the internet is truly dead then myspace is the carcass

They are playing screwdriver

They say they have some promo dates overseas coming up

So far, that is all they have brought up.

But no news available as to what 'promo' dates overseas would be promoting.

The interview was very very short. Talked a little about Prince playing Ping Pong with Ida. How

Prince enjoys being silly. He still lives in Min. The new website. How he found each woman.

Really didn't tell us very much. But Screw Driver sounded good.

I listened to the interview in my car on my new iPhone - LTE rocks!

Not alot said besides how he found them...even NPR stated that MySpace is dead

Hannah mentioned some overseas promo dates! What about the USA there P?

They also asked about the hat and mentioned 3rdEyeGirl

They finished with playing Screwdriver which sounded AWESOME on my cars premium sound system!

Listening to a song in a car is always a good way to really hear a a song and its potential.

I was rocking out!

2013=PRINCE

that's what they said!!!

Snooze...love Hannah's energy, appreciate their talent but Ida and Donna have zero personality IMO. They should have Nik West as the bassist in this girl group instead of Ida.

This will probably be one of the shortest lived NPG configurations ever.

LTE, an initialism of long-term evolution, marketed as 4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones

^ Oh I see,

LTE is not a new song/ not Prince related at all then.

Thanks for the reply..

Someone needs to give these girls some pointers before no one is interested in talking to them any more.

Prince gave them pointers. It was called a non-disclosure agreement.
