Consisting of all former and current members of Prince & the Revolution, Prince’s NPG, The Time, The Family and Mint Condition, The Truth is truly an assembly of Minneapolis musical royalty.
'The Truth' consists of: St. Paul Peterson (The Time, The Family) on bass, vocals, guitar and keyboards, Jellybean Johnson (The Time, The Family) on guitar, Eric Leeds (Prince) on saxophones, keyboards and vocals, Dr. Matt Fink (Prince & the Revolution, The Family) on keyboards and vocals, Chance Howard (Prince, The Time) on bass guitar, bass synth and vocals, Jerry Hubbard (The Time, Jesse Johnson) on bass, keyboards, guitar and vocals, Kip Blackshire (Prince) on vocals, keyboards and guitar, Kirk Johnson (Prince) on drums and vocals, Odell (Mint Condition) on guitar and vocals. The Truth will perform every Thursday night at Trocadero’s, 107 3rd Avenue North in downtown Minneapolis beginning Thursday, June 15th. The cover charge will be $7.00, the music will begin at 9:30 PM and Valet Parking is available. For more information or dinner reservations please call (612) 465-0440 or go to www.trocaderos.com The Truth will combine classic old school funk by Cameo, The Ohio Players and Funkadelic with classics by The Time, The Family, Mint Condition and Prince for a very special “Minneapolis Music” party every Thursday night that’s sure to keep the dance floor packed until 1:00 AM! For more information or to schedule an Artist interview please contact Jeff Taube at (952) 948-0050 "Trust us this is something U don't want 2 miss!" The Truth was instigated last month by Jeff and is sure to be lots of fun. The fellas had their first rehearsal last night. Obviously the band will change weekly depending on who is in town but I can guarantee you that Jeff will have the band kicking ass no matter who is around. He's a cool guy and this is a nice addition to the twin cities entertainment calendar. I've seen the songlist and it's pretty interesting ... lots of cool stuff. I think it is gonna be THE place to be on Thursdays for sure! A similar outfit called The Minneapolis Allstars is also available for corporate parties/functions only although there is the possibility of a week long engagement in Las Vegas. This concept was instigated a few years back by St Paul (they did the 'Live @ The Quest' CD) and they did a show for hotel owners in Vegas a couple of months back. We'll keep you posted as to the musicians involved (the line-up includes some of the above names and many more along with a few surprises) down the track when the website is up and running. The site will be www.theminneapolissound.com along with a few variations. On a similar note both St Paul & The Minneapolis AllStars and Mint Condition will be playing in London on June 29! Mint is doing 2 shows (the other is the 28th) so you can definitely get a taste of both!! | |

Jellybean Johnson (The Time, The Family) on guitar.
Why hasn't anyone commented on the fact that Jellybean is a drummer? "He's a musician's musician..." |

No thanks. I don't even know how to supergroup someone's ass.  Join the gangbang queue and take your turn behind Crosby, Stills and Nash? | |

Hey, I was just getting ready to comment on the fact that Jerk Johnson is on the drums and not Jellybean.  Ooookay. Of all the drummers they eneded up with that muhfuhha?I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

I was thinking this was going to be pretty fucking sweet, until i read the lineup, which lead me to one question.
WHY IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, WOULD YOU HAVE JELLYBEAN JOHNSON IN A BAND PLAYING GUITAR, AND PUT THAT NON-DRUMMING LAME ARSE EX-DANCER KIRK ON THE DRUMKIT????? He was the reason Prince's live sets were HORRIBLE pre-TRC when Blackwell finally got the band back on track. This would be fun if Jellybean was on the drumkit. With Kirk on drums it's doomed to fail. Ah well. Maybe next time. http://www.facebook.com/p...111?ref=ts
