It’s Hard T o Get In The Showbiz

Upstairs, a band from Frankfurt, Germany was active from 1977 to 1983. Though considering themselves mainly a rock group, the band incorporated elements of funk, jazz rock and disco into their music. Their rare and privately released debut album ‘It’s Hard T o Get In The Showbiz’ from 1980 created something that could be called Germany’s definitive answer to AOR, yet still with an edgy and unique krautrock flavor.
