Summary

"When Prince burst onto the pop scene in 1978, he put Minneapolis on the music map. Many up-and-coming bands followed the trail that he blazed. MPLS Sound is the story of one such group--Starchild, led by a young woman inspired by Prince to start her own revolution. Through her journey, we see from within exactly how His Royal Badness transformed the entire Minneapolis scene."--Provided by publisher.

Notes

The group in the graphic novel is fictitious. According to Publisher's Weekly, "Illidge described Starchild as a " fictional band that competed to play with Prince in the early Eighties. Basically, they were the prototype for The Revolution.'"--Publisher's Weekly, Jan. 19 2020 news brief.
