   About More Than Lights


More Than Lights, the Minneapolis-based alternative hip-hop band, launches its debut album, "The Electric Prescription For All Your Funky Illz" this month. The 11-song CD features all original music and lyrics, collaboratively written by its seven band members.

Since 2007, the group has performed at shows in the Twin Cities at venues such as The Fine Line, First Avenue, The Varsity and at events including the Bella Madre Festival, HarvestFest and EffitFest. The band has toured in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Montana, Iowa and North Dakota, and shared stages with Brother Ali, Heiruspecs, Lyrics Born, Del The Funky Homosapien, and many others.

The music of More Than Lights, rooted in hip-hop and neo-soul, explores a range of musical genres including funk, reggae and blues. Those who follow the band compare them to musicians such as Jamie Lydell, Jamiroquai, Sly and the Family Stone, Joss Stone, and the early work of Black Eyed Peas.

More Than Lights dates back to 2002 when three of its members, vocalist Natalie Fine, guitarist Matiu Unga and drummer Corey Hess (also the album’s production engineer) met at the Perpich Center for Arts Education. In 2004, they joined with New MC and Unicus, two Twin Cities hip-hop veterans who also perform as Kanser. They added keyboardist/saxophone player Joshua “Jellyfish” Holmgren and bassist Christopher Hunicutt, both students at Augsburg, in 2007. The band appeared together on The Current’s Local Show in 2008.

The band officially launches "The Electric Prescription For All Your Funky Illz" at The Cabooze in Minneapolis on Saturday, November 21 featuring City on the Make and Wide Eyes. Tickets are $5 ($8 at the door) and available at locations including The Electric Fetus, Fifth Element, Know Name Records, Treehouse Records, The Joint Bar, and www.cabooze.com.

"The Electric Prescription For All Your Funky Illz" was produced independently, recorded by Corey Hess at Armed Recording. It can be purchased at The Electric Fetus, Cheapo Records, Fifth Element, amazon.com and iTunes.

Saw you guys at Augsburg... simply amazing! I have never seen a hip hop/live band show that sounded both so good and so naturally flowing.

Is the Bella Madre really your only upcoming show? When does the CD drop? I want three copies lol.
