Ant talks about the Prince show....
Since I formed my band in 1999, people have always looked for me to do some Prince stuff. I have always avoided, as best I could, doing some Prince stuff. LOL..There's been the occasional "Raspberry Beret" or "The Cross", but really nothing deep and in depth. And doing those two song has been rare.
The reason why I strayed away from doing Prince tunes with my band, is because I just didn't want to be that other Prince fan with a guitar doing Prince tunes.. I mean damn, Prince can do Prince better than anybody anyway.
Well, after I had the opportunity to actually jam with Prince on stage a couple years ago, it dawned on me that hey, the time is coming when you and your band are gonna have to do some Prince stuff.
So I started toying around with the idea of doing some Prince tunes with my band late last year. I started going through my very vast, HUGE Prince collection and it has taken me almost one year to pull this together. Picking the right songs, the right singers, etc has been a labor of love. I figured if I do Prince, let's do PRINCE and not just have one or two songs in a set list, but have a set list full of Prince tunes...Ya'll know how I like to do it...
Now, the time has finally come.. COLLECTIVE HALLUCINATION will do an all Prince show on November 15th..Ahhh, what magic that will be!!
We plan on doing some Prince tunes spanning his full career from 1978 to 2008 with the exception of 1984, (The Purple Rain era). I have, by design, decided to not include any tunes from The Purple Rain era because all the Prince tribute bands and cover bands perform Prince tunes from that era without paying any attention to the fact that there are 29 other years of great music from the iconic artist.
And yes, there will be some B-side singles performed, some rare album cuts and yes many of his hits.. (can u say "Kiss"?).
If the rehearsals are any indication, the show is going to be incredible. Totally incredible.
We have lead vocals being performed by Kadrae, (first set) and Kmonte' (second set), with back ground vocals being performed by some of Houston's best female vocalist...
So, with all of that being said....Here's the information below;
