THE REVOLUTION Featured on NPR's All Things Considered 4/30

This Sunday April 30th, NPR's "All Things Considered" will share an intimate conversation with THE REVOLUTION and legendary host Michel Martin. The band will explore insights and memories in tribute of their friend and band leader, PRINCE. Then on Monday, May 1st, the band will be featured LIVE on SiriusXM's VOLUME channel (106) for an hour-long Town Hall Q & A with esteemed journalist, Alan Light and former MTV VJ, Mark Goodman.

With the first week of tour dates completed, the band Prince himself formed, The Revolution, have been overwhelmed by the reaction of fans across the country. One such interaction was caught on video and posted on social media garnering thousands of views within hours.

Each night the band transports themselves and their audience to a better place - around the world in a day - or for at least a few hours, the everyday hassles are washed away and the FUNK rises.

Of last nights performance, The Washington Post stated that the band "quickly proved that these songs truly belong in their hands now. Across 20-plus songs, The Revolution behaved more like a five-person rhythm section: keyboardists Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink casually jabbing their machines, incidentally making melody while keeping time; Melvoin swiping at her guitar strings with maestro precision; Mark Brown's fingertips jumping up and down his bass like radioactive popcorn; and drummer Bobby Rivkin keeping the party airlocked, as if trying to obsolesce those drum machines that Prince loved so much.... The tone felt genuine and the vibe was just right. Ultimately, these were faithful renditions of Prince's greatest compositions, lovingly delivered by the very hands that helped make us all believers in the first place. He's lucky to have these five acting as his custodians, and so are we."

The Revolution is credited on three Prince albums, Purple Rain, Around the World In a Day and Parade. As NPR's Michel Martin notes fans still in mourning "..and those paying tribute often return to one monumental work: "Purple Rain" The album and the film won three grammys and an Oscar, influenced countless musicians and made Prince a superstar. A critical ingredient in that success though, was his band, The Revolution..known for their big sound, tight discipline, and above all CHEMISTRY..." A testament to the power of their Chemistry is the band's decision to reunite and tour after three decades.
