Smells Like Infinite Sadness

Episode 21: The Revolution's Matt 'Dr.' Fink Talks 2018 Tour, Fond Memories of Prince, and More


Listen Later

This year, Prince's powerful backing band The Revolution are touring to celebrate the legacy they share with the late icon, and will be playing Emo's Austin on December 29th. And one key member who will be performing live is Matt Fink, better known as 'Dr. Fink.'
The keyboardist, always clad in signature scrubs, was instrumental in crafting many Prince classics, co-writing tracks like 'Dirty Mind' and 'Computer Blue,' and played on classic Prince albums including 'Controversy,' '1999,' 'Purple Rain,' 'Sign O' The Times' and 'Parade.'
On today's podcast episode, Fink and I discuss why the band decided to reunite after Prince's death, the challenges of performing the band's iconic material without their frontman/mastermind/multi-instrumentalist, plans for potential new material, memories of the band's 80's heyday (including filming Purple Rain) and much more.
