Friday Night - The People UpStairs!!!! & DJ Heron Spinning All NIght!
The People UpStairs Funk, Reggae, Rock – Proven instant appeal to a diverse audience.
The People UpStairs have quickly become well known across South Florida as THE quality local act with a sound audiences immediately connect with. The People UpStairs combine modern rock-funk with a groovy island touch and Latin rhythm to bridge barriers and broaden appeal. After hundreds of live shows and distributing thousands of demo CD’s, the diversity of their fans has been proven to span all races and ages. Immediate reactions are immensely positive and the fans’ loyalty only increases the more they listen.
The ensemble includes vocals, bass guitar, lead guitar, drum set, and a plethora of auxiliary percussion. Each member has been playing music since at least the 6th grade with many receiving extensive formal training.
The People UpStairs – who draw their name from their practice studio, a loft snugly sitting upstairs above a plumbing company’s shop – are in demand all over Florida for their crowd-pleasing live performances. The band has traveled to Florida State’s Tallahassee, the University of Florida’s Gainesville, and the University of South Florida’s Tampa at the venues’ request (and expense) to have The People UpStairs entertain their college-town audiences. At home in South Florida, The People UpStairs (often fondly referred to as TPUS) have become advertised regulars in several venues with establishments competing to book the band on high-traffic nights.
Performing at Sunfest in 2009, supporting Damian Marley, 311, Slightly Stupid and Pepper.

Originally the backing band for Miami girl supergroup Expose', EROTIC EXOTIC were at the forefront of the 80's dance movement known as Freestyle. Their signing to Atlantic Records heralded an unprecedented period in the post-Disco era reviving the Dance music scene in America. Erotic Exotic stood apart from many of their peers in that they were a self-contained band of actual musicians as opposed to the producer-driven entities that were common during this period. Their tours in the states and abroad always earned rave reviews, their hits are still played today on various Top 40 radio stations, especially in the Texas, California, Florida and New York markets, and the band seemed destined for superstardom. Tragically, the future of the band was sidetracked by the unexpected death of one of their members. EROTIC EXOTIC regrouped in 2000, and have been continuously playing concerts and clubs ever since.
Abroad, EROTIC EXOTIC were also the backing band for the group Technotronic in South America while also being sponsored by Pepsi when they performed in countries such as Chile where they had a great following as well. During this time, the members of EROTIC EXOTIC were also instrumental in launching other freestyle/dance acts such as Connie ("Funky Little Beat"), Friday Friday (which featured Stevie B), disco legend Celi Bee, 12th Planet feat. D'Luna (of China Dolls fame), as well as the first Latin freestyle novelty group Los Sucios ("Sucia"). EROTIC EXOTIC is also honored with receiving awards at the Freestyle Music Awards and The Miami Dance Music Awards.
