Biography:
*There are at least two bands named The Stairs.
The Stairs commonly refers to a British indie band from the early 1990s with one album Mexican R ‘n’ B.
The Stairs were truly one of the great long lost bands of the early nineties. The Liverpudlian four-piece love of retro pop formed the basis of a cool mix of psych and R'nB that promised so much but in the end delivered very little.
Not that the band were to blame. Far from it. In Edgar Summertyme
