About Me

A brief history of the Upstage: (by DJ ez-Lou as much as I can remember)/Early 80’s – Was known as Upstairs at Mr. C’s. Bands and DJ’s./1984 – DJ Harry “the Wire” moved his Monday night Modern Dance (also his program on WYEP) from The Sanctuary (now gone, was behind the Kings Court/Beehive) to the Upstage./1986 – DJ ez-Lou Joined the team. Other DJ’s were there as well (I don’t remember who)./1989 – DJ ez-Lou left to work at Metropol./1991-92 – Harry left and after several DJ’s, Spike took control./ 1993-94 – Harry returns and creates a Industrial/Goth night on Friday’s. Spike creates Thursday Retro Nights. Monday night were packed with a line to get in. MONDAY NIGHT!!!/1994 – Harry retires and DJ ez-Lou took over Friday Industrial/Goth night, and added Dark techno and New Beat. Thursdays become Big./1995 – Spike leaves and DJ ez-Lou becomes the resident DJ. Monday nights are losing strength. All good nights eventually come to and end!/ 1996 (I think) – Ceremony is created at the Laga and Upstage Fridays start to fail. All good nights eventually come to and end and new ones start up./1999 – Upstage closes. Thursdays are moved to The Beehive./ 2001 – Thursday Retro night moves to the Laga after The Beehive closes./ 6 months or so later Thursdays return to the Upstage (new owner)./End of 2006 - All good nights eventually come to and end!/Some of the dates may not be accurate. It’s been a long and strange trip.
