Boomerang formed in the summer of 2003 thanks in part to RaleighMusic.com. Shortly thereafter the band started performing regularly around the Raleigh, NC area playing the classic dance hits from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and today. Catch the party and dance like there's no tomorrow with Boomerang !
