ARSEN ROULETTE (USA) - is not only blessed with a great voice, but also the talent of an amazing songwriter; all his compositions show the skill that only years of experience can give - same goes for his band as a whole. Together, they make Arsen Roulette a complete Rockabilly artist in the line of 50's legends as:Johnny Burnette, Gene Vincent or Johnny Carrol. Carlos Diaz, El Toro Records.
DALE ROCKA and the VOLCANOES (Italy) - One month after forming in 1998, Dale Rocka & the Volcanoes went to play in Paris and record their first 7 inch record (You Get Alone I've Got The Blues). Shortly after, on a trip to the UK, they were amazed to hear their record being played at record hops!!!!! Since then they've been busy touring Europe and after 2 years they recorded a second 7" record that has sold out quickly!
The MADMEN - Croatia's most popular rockin’ band, they've toured all over Europe, played all the major rockabilly festivals worldwide and have two full lenght CD releases on the Rhythm Bomb Records label under their belt. Their live show can only be described as WILD!WILD!WILD!!! Make sure you don’t miss their red-hot set!
LONG TALL SONNY AND HIS WILD COWS - This six piece band from Hungary, fronted by charismatic Sonny, plays a fantastic mixture of rhythm’n’blues and rockabilly. Can't go wrong with a combination like that!! Well known in their home country of Hungary, their crowd pleasing show is sure to skyrocket them into worldwide recognition!
ADAM & his NUCLEAR ROCKETS (Croatia) - play 50s style rockabilly. A four piece band has just recorded the second album for El Toro Records which will be out later in 2008. Toured around Europe since forming in 2003. DJ'S
JACKIE and his LOADERS (Italy) - Rockin' since the early 90's, they started out as friends playing rockabilly covers for fun and quickly realized they really had something (Jackie's resemblence to 50's comedic actor Toto didn't hurt either)! They fanatically pursued the traditional 50's sound and have been wowing them in Italy ever since! This will be one of the rare opportunities to see their show outside of Italy, so don't you dare miss it!!
MISSISSIPPI QUEEN - These boys are the veterans of the Croatian rockabilly scene and the first band in Croatia to ever play with a traditional sound. With several recordings under their belt (including the smashing "Did You Say Love" album on Rhyhtm Bomb Records), the boys have been touring extensively and wowing crowds wherever they play. Sure to please, this three piece drummerless outfit will send you to rockabilly heaven!!! Look for a new release from them on Rhythm Bomb Records soon!!
