So Janelle Monae was in Minneapolis, MN last night at First Avenue and some purple spies tell us PRINCE was in attendance with his full band. 

Janelle had to Tweet before the show about First Avenue knowing it was where Purple Rain, the greatest rock n roll movie ever made, was filmed.

We heard after Janelle funkdafied First Ave, she headed back to Paisley Park, Prince’s recording studios in Minneapolis for those who don’t know, and jammed with Prince and his 8(?) piece band for a couple of hours with her and her band. 

Why oh why couldn’t have someone filmed that?  All that funk in one place?  We might have passed out from the overload of true artists creating. 

Something special happened with Janelle as she had to tweet this:

Finally learning something that I have been trying to learn for a while! Yes!!!!

We also hear that PRINCE and the band checked out Esperanza Spaulding at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minnesota earlier in the week as well.

Janelle and Esperanza are GREAT musicians in their own right.  Make sure to check them out if you haven’t already. 

With PRINCE set to tour Northern Europe next month, we wonder what other purple surprised we can expect soon?  One can hope, right?-Dr.FB

    Esperanza Spalding is also performing in Northern Europe (and other parts of Europe) when Prince & the Band are there… Janelle Monáe is coming to Europe this winter, too… (for example Zurich, Switzerland 12/11/10)…

    Oh how cool!! Damn, I hate I miss all the good shows, it sucks living in a small town where no one has any funk or even cares about it! I’ve got to get to a cool place like Minneapolis so I can catch these kick ass shows!
