Coming together while every member was studying at the Kentucky State University, Midnight Star formed to play the parties that were being held on their university campus, and evolved to the point where they were able to start a party anywhere else in the known universe. After building up a name for themselves all over their local Kentucky scene, the band shipped up to New York City in 1978 to play a showcase for Solar Records, which predictably, they aced. The chief of Solar Records himself, Dick Griffey signed the group himself and their first album, “The Beginning” was released in 1980.
Their second album “Standing Together” was their first record to make a dent on the Billboard Chart, but it wasn't until 1983 and their huge hit album “No Parking On The Dance Floor” that they became genuine pop stars. The album's lead single “Freak-A-Zoid” was a huge hit on the R&B Charts and the album would go on to surpass the double Platinum certification. Its follow up, “Planetary Invasion”, was a similar sized hit powered by the band's only top twenty hit “Operator”, and while the band first came to an end in 1990, they got back together exactly a decade later and have been touring ever since. With nearly four decades of experience under their belt, and some of the rowdiest live shows in funk, Midnight Star come highly recommended.

Who doesn't love a bit of 70's disco? No one is the answer to that. With many of the prolific stars of the 80's still performing such as Chic & Lionel Richie, it's perhaps easy to forget the successes that Midnight Star enjoyed during their fame's pinnacle. They scored hits both sides of the Atlantic with tracks such as 'Operator' and 'Midas Touch' due to their energetic, fun filled performances and great electro funk beats.
Their album 'No Parking (On The Dancefloor) is now certified 2 x platinum in the US so it's no wonder the band are back on the road to meet the demand that is clearly. Fronted by Belinda Lipscomb, the likeable group really give everything to their performance and although they may not be able to dance as they would have in the 80's, the audience really appreciate the efforts to bring the party vibe to each gig.
Performing next month in Albany, this band are a perfect fun evening out and you will get the chance to indulge in the disco sounds of the 80's with a group who are clearly still enjoying every minute of being onstage and performing together.
