This weekend, The Revolution is reuniting to play a show at First Avenue. Drummer Bobby Z nearly died from a heart attack just over a year ago, and proceeds from the show will benefit the American Heart Association. Minnesota Public Radio’s Jim Bickal spoke with Bobby Z and his former bandmates, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, about the reunion, what it was like playing in Prince’s band at the height of his popularity — and whether or not the Purple One himself will make an appearance Sunday night.
