#MPLS (M-P-L-S) delivers a sound that is all Minneapolis. Formerly known as BoomBox, #MPLS is the progressive product of the hip hop generation showcasing eight independent voices while exhibiting an exceedingly bold Funk and Soul sound. Described as “One of the most innovative, creative and entertaining bands today,” by Sounds of Blackness founder Gary Hines. #MPLS combines the talents of Jesse Larson and David Glen (Hustle Rose) on guitars, Ashley Commodore and Bree Turner on Vocals, Rob Coleman, on Synth Bass, David Billingsley on the keys, MC Beeph Morgan and Brandon Commodore (Mint Condition) on drums. Influenced by the legendary and world renowned Minneapolis sound, #MPLS was graced with a prestigious house gig at Bunker’s Music Bar and Grill in 2012. They have built a now 4-time sold out succession of Michael Jackson Tribute shows at Minneapolis’ Cabooze Music Club. In January of 2012 they opened for Mint Condition at the Fine Line Music Café. 2013 has been dedicated to original work and the group is now preparing material for a mid 2014 release of their first studio album, Hello. Every #MPLS show is guaranteed to be a unique, rewarding, and an eventful experience. You never know who might share the stage with #MPLS next! #MPLS premier live R&B, Soul, Funk, and Hip-Hop band
