Hi, Mark! The Upstairs’ s manager just tell me about your review in this blog. I’m really surprise. Me and my friends create a fanzine about The Upstairs. You could check it out in our website (www.myspace.com/tercetak). Could you tell us more, why do you like The Upstairs? Which song is your favorite? And how do you find them?
Could I write about this in their zine? It’s a great news!
Thanks a lot, Mark : )
November 1st, 2007 at 11:00 pm
WE LOVE THE UPSTAIRS…!!

November 2nd, 2007 at 1:25 am
They are really cool and their music is unique, not like the typical new wave band I ever heard…..reminiscing the 80’s era.!!!

If you are interested to their musics, why don’t you come to Jakarta and meet them? It will be such honour for the fans in Jakarta. Or collaborate with The Upstairs, maybe? i’m sure it will be great! +44 and upstairs. YAY!!

i’m from indonesia but i’m not into the upstairs
but one thing is for sure, the song is in BAHASA (it’s indonesian language)
not in malay.
their lyrics mostly about urban people and their lifestyles.

January 15th, 2008 at 4:18 am
i’m from jakarta and i just found out about this post from my friend. i don’t really listen to The Upstairs a lot, but it’s totally cool that our local artist got a credit from you. yeah, maybe you guys should come here for a show and have them as your opening act. that’d be a blast :p

Hi mark…
You know what?? i heard that the bassist on THE UPSTAIRS is influenced by you when you’re still in Blink 182. He n his mates used to covered Blink 182’s songs, so i guess, its no wonder if you like their music. and we’re INDONESIAN proud of it. Come to jakarta Mark, we’re waiting for you!
