Pretty Please

Performing at the OUTDOOR PATIO STAGE @ 2:30 A.M.
Pretty Please is a Pop Trio whose members are no strangers to the Miami music scene. This band is not a hobby nor a project that can be measured in any traditional sense. To it’s members, this band is a something a lot more valuable, it’s a well knit friendship. Their music is a product of their love for each other. Their chemistry together strays into all sorts of extremes. First a little bit about the band members:
Bianca Pupo: Vox, Keys, Guitars
Bianca has been in countless bands since she was a teenager. Over the years she’s crafted her abilities as a songwriter and a versatile musician playing just about every instrument known to rock and roll. She currently also fronts Outre Violette and used to play keys and rhythm guitar for The Brand.
Farina Mackliff: Vox, Bass
Farina has been playing bass for only 5 years. What she lacks in experience she makes up with feeling. Her natural ability to pour emotion into her playing really makes her stand out. She also plays in Outre Violette and has played in many bands before including Fuselage.
Juan Oña: Drums
Like Farina, Juan has been playing his respective instrument for about 5 years. Very far from being a technical drummer, he has the ability to drive an audience by simply having a good time on stage. He too used to play in The Brand alongside Bianca.
Touring and composing together in The Brand, Bianca and Juan really built up a great working chemistry together. The Brand moved to New York in the Summer of 2006 at which point Bianca had to leave The Brand because she could not leave Miami. Around this time, Farina joined Outre Violette and a wonderful friendship began. In the middle of all this, Bianca had slowly been working on songs for her solo project, Ghost Milk.
In early 2007, fate would bring Juan back to Miami where he immediately touched base with Bianca. Like two lovers driven apart by circumstance, they were just itching to play together again. It was at this time that they first started to toy with the idea of taking some of the Ghost Milk songs and turning it into a new band. They got together a couple of times and realized they had something special on their hands but the lineup wasn’t complete, they needed a bass player. It did not take long at all before Farina would join them and complete what was to become Pretty Please.
In their previous bands, each member has accomplished some admirable feats from showcasing in London, to having videos and music on TV and radio, to being named "best rock band" by The Miami New Times. Pretty Please is still in it’s infancy stage, currently working on their first EP which is expected to come out at the end of 2007. With that release and some good ol’ guerilla marketing, you can expect this D.I.Y. band to make a serious impact starting with South Florida. In the meantime you can follow them in their adventures through videos and pictures they have posted on their MySpace.
Pretty Please has also picked up the Plaid torch. Plaid is a monthly music showcase that was started back in 2002. It’s one of the most respected events in South Florida hosting up to 20 bands on three stages. Plaid was started by The Brand (Juan, Bianca, Omar, and Leo) and was temporarily out of commission when The Brand moved to New York. Now with half of it’s founding members in Miami and rocking a band together, Plaid is back!
Pretty Please has played a handful of shows and have received excellent feedback. You can expect their upcoming EP to be an homage to love and a reflection of their intense and sometimes debaucherous tendencies. In the meantime, come to their shows where you can count on not just spectating but being a part of something amazing. They tickle fancies, they rock faces, the float on clouds, and they will fall in love with you.

Prostitots
http://www.myspace.com/prostitots
Performing at the UPSTAIRS STAGE IN THE CABARET @ 7:00 P.M.
Chelly [vocals]
Rictor [drums]
Cesar [keys]
In December of 2006 Prostitots was formed. They all met at the workplace, and are still co-workers. Chelly (also an artist under the alias Mission From Göd) is self-taught and sings in the band. Rictor (also a guitarist/singer/songwriter from Space Station 5) debuts his drumming with Prostitots. Finally, Cesar (also a solo producer/songwriter under C Zar; and Yenkenes) plays the organs/keyboards. Influenced by everything from Slick Rick to The Ramones, to Bjork, to Beethoven, this trio eliminates the necessity of a guitarist and bassist. Dancy, simple, and full of expression, this band gives a new genre a following. Rock N' Run!
