The Daily Swarm

UPDATE: Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

Why a reunion now?

“It’s like Terry [Lewis] is telling all the interviewers: ‘It’s just time,’” said Johnson, who spent the past three weeks rehearsing in Los Angeles, where the other members live; only Johnson and Moir still live in the Twin Cities.

The project is being spearheaded by Lewis—the group’s bassist, Jam’s partner in the Grammy-winning Flyte Tyme production team and “the consummate businessman,” said Johnson. Lewis and frontman Morris Day cut the deal with the Flamingo.

The Time is actually the replacement for this 15-show engagement at a 700-seat showroom. Toni Braxton has been the longtime attraction there, but became ill.

The group is getting a ” handsome” fee, Johnson said—perhaps its biggest payday ever.

This isn’t just a dash for reunion cash. The Time is about three-fourths finished with a new album that could be available in the fall. One or two new numbers might sneak into the group’s 90-minute Vegas set.
