Prince and the girls took to the stage to play two more surprise shows on valentines day at the Kings Place Arts Centre in London’s Kings Cross. Performing tracks, including classics such as ‘Take Me With U’ and ‘Raspberry Beret’ on a bare stage. To the surprise of those in attendance, the enigmatic icon undertook a very rare Q&A session answering questions from fans submitted prior the show.
Playing for another hour the bone-shaking electric set contained exclusive unreleased songs from the highly anticipated debut 3RDEYEGIRL album PLECTRUMELECTRUM, set for release this year. Throughout the show, Prince played tribute to the music of classic UK artists, playing The Clash’s ‘Train in Vain’ and Roxy Music’s ‘More Than This’.
Acknowledging the massive demand, immediately after the show finished Prince announced that he would play another concert for the fans outside that hadn’t made it into the first performance. The shows were the latest in Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL’s spontaneous ‘Hit and Run’ tour of London following history making performances at the Electric Ballroom and Shepherds Bush Empire. The Guardian said it best, describing the Electric Ballroom shows in this way: “These are just performances by one of the greatest funk-rock bands ever.” The group has been showered in 5-star reviews from all major reviewing media.
At Kings Place, 3RDEYEGIRL announced additional confirmed shows, which include the legendary Ronnie Scotts on Monday the 17th, and more dates TBA (including a visit to Manchester).
Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL’s smashing new single ‘PRETZELBODYLOGIC’ is noe available.
