Patrick Stump is about to hit the road again in support of his recent EP Truant Wave. The former Fall Out Boy frontman will kick off his summer tour on August 3rd at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota and wrap up later in the month at the HOB Parish Room in New Orleans. The singer is likely to play several songs from his forthcoming solo debut Soul Punk, along with some interesting covers such as Kanye West's "All of the Lights," which he performed in this exclusive clip from a recent performance at Schuba's in Chicago.

For another taste of Stump in solo mode, you can check out the acoustic set he recorded at the Rolling Stone office earlier this year, which includes a rather impressive rendition of Tom Waits' "Step Right Up."

Song Stories

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
