6- 4- 05   Mint Condition    Rasputin Berkeley

Best known for the classic slow jam, "Pretty Brown Eyes," Mint Condition's newest album, Livin' the Luxary Brown, provides the r&b, rock, alternative, jazz, and hip-hop combination that makes these musicians stand out. Scheduled to perform three nights of sold out shows at Kimbal's Carnival in Oakland, Mint Condition stopped by Rasputin with guitars and keyboard in hand to give listeners and Telegraph onlookers a live taste of some of their new album's tracks. Whether one was rocking back and forth, clapping hands, or singing along, Mint Condition had everyone in store swooning to their beats and vocals. - Evelyn V. Molina
