Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The ultimate love letter to the funky pop-rock sound that made The Artist Formerly Known as Prince a legend.
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.

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.
