The Band Formerly Known as Prince broke up as of a few days ago…  I’m not ready to talk about it really, but we’ll have more of an explanation eventually…

    I hate coming to terms with the fact that more than two years of my existence has led to nothing…  I can’t believe that that is true…  So instead of telling everyone why we broke up, I’m gonna tell everyone what the band will be up to…

    Jesse is going to be continuing his high school career and hopefully starting fast track soon to get his associates degree in general studies…

    Nick graduates at the end of this semester!  He plans to get a job, save up for a year, and then see where that leads him :)

    Not quite sure what Ben will be up to, but I have heard that he is planning on going back to college…  Not sure what he will be studying…

    I will be continuing to play music…  There’s not much else that I really care about…  I’m going to be starting a band with Carter James, Alex (from Alreshay), and LaRissa Vienna!  We’re thinking about calling it BAD!

    I won’t be checking the band’s myspace as much as I used to…  So talk to me on my personal profile (www.myspace.com/kissesforsugardaddy)

    Those are all the updates that we have as of now…  Pretty please check back…  It’s been a lot of fun!  We love you all!!!

Hey it's Ben from tbfkap! When I first started doing stuff with The Band Formerly Known as Prince it was fun, exciting and one of the best musical experiences I've ever had! Then it took a turn! I will no longer be a part of this group! It's what's best for me, and for everyone! It was alot of fun!

-Ben Krebs

We've been in the studio for the last few days!  We're hitting a few snags, but I have a feeling you guys are going to abslolutely be in love with the new ep!  If you ask me, it has an aweful lot of heart and soul in it!!!

Just thought we'd update you fellas!!!!  Please keep updated, please keep talking to us!!!  Please keep behind us, this is more important to me than anything else in my life!  I really can't do this without you guys!

-Aaron

P.S.  I met Zack Hanson last night...  Riss was right... He does look like me!

Alright young ladies and young gentlemen!  I was at a really cool party last night and a couple of our bands really good friends said it just feels like The Band Formerly Known as Prince is never gonna come back and never come out with anything new and whatnot :)!!!

I'm here to tell you that that's just a big load of poopey in the pants :)!!!

We plan on coming back, bigger, better, and happier than ever!  Plus, I personally think our new sound is the best thing we've ever created!  We've challenged ourselves in song writing so hard and I honestly think it'll pay off big time!

I know some people don't like hearing this, but we as a band have decided to give up electro music!  It was a lot of fun while it lasted, but I think we've got much bigger and better things cooking!!!  We're going to play GLAM ROCK!!!

So bassically, just go listen to a buttload of Def Leopard, mixed with Beasty Boys, Mixed with Cardinal Official and you'll have the new sound that we're going for!!!

Oh and if you're free, send us some delicious comments with suggestions of stuff to listen to!  I'm feeling really inspired right now and I want that to keep going!

Thanks!  Gracias!  Merci!  Grazie!  Graca!

WoooWeee!  Wow folks!  I feel on top of the world!

I spent a lot of time working my butt off for our last show!  I really did!  I pushed it as hard as I possibly could, laboring under the fear of having our last show be a dead one...  You should know, my fears came true!  The show was pretty dead, probably less than 50 people total for the whole night (which is bad compared to how we've been doing lately)!  I spent the first half of the night beating myself up, feeling terrible, feeling like I was no good at this, feeling like I should give up :)!!!

But then something changed, and it wasn't the turnout, and it wasn't the lineup, and it wasn't the crowd...  The nice people where still there, the haters where still there!  The only thing that changed was my paradigm!  My perspective and my outlook on everyone and every thing!

I'm proud of our performance tonight, I think we had more fun tonight than we have in a very very very very long time!!!  I'm proud of the people there tonight, I always hear people say that they "love" people, but it's usually apparent that their insincere!  But tonight I can honestly say that I love each and every person at the show tonight!  Even the meanest, sketchiest, weirdest, or most obnoxious people there tonight, I love um all the same!  It's a beautiful feeling!!!

I got home tonight, and got a bunch of really rude messages from people telling me to give up, and for the first time, it didn't mess my head up...  They can't touch this high!  They can't touch this happiness that I've achieved...  I feel stronger.  I feel wiser.  I feel closer to what it is that I'm supposed to be!

I started out this night feeling like I should give up...  Feeling like I've wasted all of this time on something that would never turn out the way I had always hoped...

I'm glad I haven't given up...

I don't think I ever will give up...

I'm so excited for this break!  I think everybody is gonna love this new sound that we're developing!  It feels fresh!  It feels like it's what we where meant to do all along!

I love everybody reading this... maybe I won't in the morning, but for now, I just love feeling this feeling :)!!!

Goodnight, sianara, see ya in a few long months!

Hey what's up!!!  We've got some really really cool stuff cookin up after we release this new album!  Things are going to get super super busy here in a couple of weeks!

So while things are slow, we've decided to have ourselves a little contest!!!

Attached at the bottom of this blog is the instrumentals to three of our more popular songs!  Miss Femme Fetal, Disco Diva, and You!!!

Download one, or all of the beats and send us your cover song (as many as you want)!  Attach the cover via Youtube or Myspace and we'll give it a listen!!!  Make sure to label the video, or song "The Band Formerly Known as Prince Cover: ____"!

The top three best cover songs will be awarded a custom fansign by us, and a signed t-shirt off of our new line of merch!!!

First place will recieve a fansign by the band, an autographed t-shirt/CD, they will be put on our myspace's #1 friend spot and will come into the studio with us to be featured on our all new EP scheduled to be released near the end of September, begginning of October!!!

Don't know how many people will participate, but oh well!  This'll be a nice fun thing for everybody to check out!!!

This'll be fun for everyone to do, and hopefully a good way for anyone who is serious about music to get their start or atleast a decent amount of exposure!!!

Oh and one more thing, extra points to whoever can make a unique take on the song, or redo the instrumentals in a way that we didn't think to do!

Hope everyone tries out!
