FLOORSIXTEEN first demo!

Last month, as usual, we awoke once again groggy from lack of sleep, answering fan letters and negotiating with big labels.  There was some discussion as to what our next move should be so we decided to do a new demo disc. Our old one wasn’t doing so well, (probably because we never actually recorded it).

We were so excited by the idea that we decided not to waste time on travelling to a recording studio, setting up and doing sound checks. So we made the recordings right here in our Belarus penthouse on, you guessed it! The 16th floor.  Then it was time for a trip to the studio where the raw recorded material was mixed, polished and mastered. Now as a result we’ve got 5 cuts in the can for our very first CD!


Naturally there was no hesitation over the name, and after three broken lamps, two smashed windows and one black eye we unanimously agreed on “Unplugged/2011”.
All of this dear Friends, for the sole purpose to convey to you how FLOOR SIXTEEN sounds live! Well live in the studio via our 16th floor apartment anyway.

We are particularly excited because in two years of live performances by the band from Oslo to Andorra, Austria to Minsk and St. Petersburg to Prague, literally wherever we went, all that we heard was: "The music’s great but . . . WHERE’S THE CD GUYS?!"

Entries suggested by YOU, our international fan base, on “Unplugged/2011” include  Write The Story and The Bridge. But that’s not the half of it! You’ve probably had some really good news this year, like maybe you won the Lottery, maybe you met your soul mate or maybe your physics professor died the day before your exam. But get ready for some really good news!

“Unplugged/2011” is now available for free download! Free! No Euros! No Dollars, no Visa or MasterCard.  Free. All for you, Dear Friends!
Listen and enjoy!
And more importantly, thank you!

FLOORSIXTEEN: «Summer promo tour 2011»




It so happens that if something is meant to be, it will be. That's the story of FLOOR SIXTEEN. Without thinking twice, we got into the car and went to . . . Austria! It turned out that in addition to desire, having the songs, the instruments, the rehearsal time, the talent and, most importantly the car, nothing is impossible!


Hello! We are a musical band FLOORSIXTEEN.



As a musical group, we gathered in 2009 in Belarus, a European country located between Poland and Russia.



Everything began on the sixteenth floor on the outskirts of the city of Minsk (the capital of Belarus). That's where we first came to the idea that we should start to play music the three of us  were really interested in. Although it is worth noting that the musical tastes of everyone at that time were very different...
