TV On The Radio are touring on the heels of their recent release, Seeds (read the review here), and things got a bit purple at their show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN. 

The venue is noteworthy for its role in the hit movie Purple Rain starring Prince in his debut acting role. Many performance and backstage scenes were filmed in the First Avenue venue. Considering Prince is a Minnesota native, the location choice certainly makes sense.

It also makes sense that TV On The Radio would cover Prince at the venue, considering how influential Prince’s music has been to all subsequent artists. The band posted the following fan-shot video of their “Purple Rain” performance, with the caption: 

‘Sometimes you just gotta cover a ‪#‎Prince‬ song at the venue they shot ‪#‎PurpleRain‬’
‪#‎FirstAvenue‬ ‪#‎Minneapolis‬ ‪#‎bucketlist‬
