The funkmaster George Clinton is back with his band Parliament Funkadelic at the Cabooze in Minneapolis on May 17th, as part of their 40th Anniversary as a band.

It's been a long time since Parliament Funkadelic, as noted by Clinton, "It’s been 33 years since a legitimate Funkadelic record, The Electric Spanking of the War Babies, has been out. A lot of it is from the band, but I also have everybody from my kids and grandkids to Sly Stone, Kim Burrell and El DeBarge on there. It's a package!!!!"
