The Pasadenas literally danced their way to success in 1988 when their debut single Tribute (right on) stormed into the UK and European top 5, paving their way for their million selling debut LP, To whom it may concern. Formerly a dance group known as Finesse they signed to Sony Music label Columbia and became The Pasadenas. David and Michael Milliner (twins), Andrew Banfield, Jeff Aaro Brown and Hammish Seelochan, have constantly re-interpreted the great sound of early American soul and R & B greats, such as Otis Reading, Wilson Picket, Stevie Wonder and delivered it to a whole new generation.
Their first album met with critical acclaim in the US with their first single going to number 5. R & B managed to crossover to the market that it was tailored for, with the advent of the black quartet and quintets achieving considerable success in the US market. The band's strength lies in its live performance; it will be one of the main qualities that set them above their contemporaries. 1992 saw them have a successful year in the UK with their third Gold album spawning 5 top 40 hits. I'M Doing fine, their top 5 hit, was the biggest selling on the Sony label by any of its UK signings and achieved silver status, by selling over 200.000 copies in the UK alone.
All five members contribute equally towards the choreography, writing and arranging of songs and have succeeded in producing a unique sound which they describe as "popular music with R & B overtones". By fusing their brilliant dance steps with their euphonious singing talents, the Pasadenas provide an exciting and breathtaking live performance not to be missed.
