Since their initial debut this past spring as a new new wave band with an affinity for Prince songs (hence the name), Fingerprince have been practicing like mad in preparation for their anticipated return to the stage.

Volcanoless in Canada is probably the most severe victim of Saskatoon’s serial bassist Enver Hampton, whose M.O. is to play in every band ever.
