22 Apr “Mutiny/Ice Cream Castles” New PRINCE & The NPG Rehearsal Jam! Listen Now!
Here is the latest rehearsal jam from PRINCE & THE NPG. We have been waiting to share this with you and now, we finally can!!
As we first told you about late last week, this is Prince’s musical response to Terry Lewis asking if Prince needed an opening act for his upcoming Australian Tour and was also sent to Paul Peterson of Fdeluxe (Formerly The Family) before anyone else.
We promised you that it is hot, funky, dirty, and will leave you in puddle of sweat.
We want to thank PRINCE for sending this to us! The rehearsal jam features “Mutiny” and…..”Ice Cream Castles”….Listen below……
We are loving it and digging it big time! Australia, are you ready? Good Gawd!
As we said over the weekend, Janelle Monae and Deliah are possible opening acts for Prince’s “Welcome 2 Australia” leg of the tour. Will anyone else be coming along?
So what do U guys think of the latest rehearsal jam?-DocFB
Diagnosis: 1, 2, 3, 4, EVERYBODY ON THE DANCE FLOOR!!!

Posted at 20:23h, 24 AprilDon’t you just love how people who haven’t got the slightest bit of musical talent always wanna make comments about how an artist shouldn’t change the music they play. Hell, he wrote it! He can play it any dayum way he wants. STFU and go listen to Justin Bieber if you can’t stand the funk. On the 1 now beetchez!!!!

Posted at 12:51h, 24 AprilPrince R U still taking requests?
“Just As Long As We’re 2Gether”
when is the last time U listened 2 or Jammed on that?
The xtended Coda is Funkier than a mosquito’s tweeter!!!
The NPG Could Jam on that 4 Days!!
“Everybody Loves Me”
This song begs 2 b a show closer. It has the feel good call and response and great Finale NEEDS! Eye no eye will get some HATE on this one but TRUST ME this song has CONCERT CLOSER POTENTIAL
the “Baby eye’m a Star” of the 20Tens and Beyond!!
“Computer Blue”
Others have mentioned this one and 4 Good Reason.
This Song is the BOMB! Last time U gave this one the Royal Treatment was in Stuttgart Germany 1998
They Were not Ready! Now We R!!! We R Here, Where R U?
“It’s Time Someone’s Programmed U”
“Days of Wild & Loose”
That tag has been floating on the NET 4 a few days. Was is a mistake? Was it a tease? That would b ONE HELL of A MASH UP!
“Days of Wild” is the NPG’s National Anthem
and if U R going 2 Welcome Us 2 Australia we NEED 2 HEAR the NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!
Third Finger Down if U Wild Make a SOUND…………..
These R the Days Of Wild
“It’s Going 2 B Loud and It’s Going 2 B Funky!!!!”

Posted at 05:09h, 24 AprilOh and by the way, with regards to the two “rehearsals”, it’s good/great to hear something from Prince, but unfortunately as with 98% of what he does these days there is no spontaneity in the music itself and certainly no SOUL in the music anymore, just a shell. Reheasals are supposed to be just that – warts and all – not finished works which these two sound like.

Posted at 05:04h, 24 AprilAnd the words coming through the music are “Do one”. I know there is always more to it (two sides to a story etc.) however it’s the punter who wants to enjoy the music that suffers.
Anyway, for the Original 7ven (shouldn’t that be 6ix now?) how about making a shorter trip to London…20+ years is a long time to ignore your UK followers for…

Posted at 04:08h, 24 AprilGood. Not Great.
Please no opening acts(except for legally required local act).
If Leonard Cohen can come here and do 3 hour shows at 77 years old, then P can handle it too! 🙂

Posted at 03:58h, 24 AprilThanks for sharing! It is pretty funky, but sounds a bit too plastic to me.
It needs to be more raw and rougher around the edges.
I hope sending this music to the time and the family was meant as an invite rather than sticking it to them.
The Aussies will have a well deserved funky good time in May. Enjoy!!

Posted at 02:45h, 24 Apriloh. nice that he is sharing something.
but, as always, its a matter of taste.
not mine, just boring plastic music, but hey, thats what the fans deserve. we have 2012 and most of modern-so-called-music sounds like plastic.
(yeah, rehearsal, but NOT funky)
imho
good luck

Posted at 01:28h, 24 AprilAs a real Prince Fan my whole life you know you get every kind of music! This is funk boy’s and girls! Prince, NPG funk it up!

Posted at 00:29h, 24 AprilThanx Prince for sharing! You got the groove as always! Don’t forget ur top notch song: Joy in Repetition in all variations mind blowing (!) + THE LOVE WE MAKE, an ever life- changing- composition.

Posted at 00:11h, 24 AprilDo not fake the funk on a nasty dunk, now this is a slamdunk! So good, so funky, so Prince, love it.

Posted at 22:46h, 23 AprilI don’t like it that much, Prince. it’s too tight, too caculated. not enough spirit or involvement.. I’d like some imperfection with a soul like you had with The Revolution or that ’88 band. Ever since you invented the NPG thing, it’s been too polished, too much hunting for perfection and effects..

Posted at 22:02h, 23 AprilSo is this Prince saying that he’s taking back the music he wrote for the Time and the Family and accusing them of Mutiny for going at it alone without him? Seems nice, cuz it’s a funky jam, but is it possible it has a nasty undertone?

Posted at 21:15h, 23 AprilNo, very, very tight!!!!!!!

Posted at 16:08h, 23 April“baby when you’re with me you have nothing much to say’? That can’t be about me.
I like where you’re going #Prince, keep stepping.
No need for hope, only the faith and knowledge of the truth and the edge of Dawn.
Love4 You all. Get Better. Start Now.
