Stateside Presents, in conjunction with Universatile Music, is bringing back RJD2 for an April 7 show at the Clubhouse in Tempe. Buy tickets ($14 advance, $15 day of show) here.

I missed RJ the last time he came through on a solo tour but caught him with Blueprint for Soul Position’s tour a couple years ago in support of Things Go Better With RJ and Al.

Check out a side-by-side rendering of two versions for the video for Work it Out, off RJ’s sorta-maligned The Third Hand.

On the topic of Soul Position, Blueprint says through his MySpace blog that he’s going to release an EP in February on Weightless Recordings. I recorded an interview with Blueprint at the Paid Dues Festival and will try to get some audio of that up soon. He had some interesting things to say in defense of The Third Hand.

If you didn’t like the fact that RJD2 took up singing for that album, the instrumental version is available on eMusic.
