Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle

Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle formed in 2005 as a breath of fresh air amid an explosion of saxophones, guitars, fiddles originally influenced by The Doors, Bob Dylan, Led Zepplin and The Coral. They have a reputation for energetic live performance, adding hillbilly fiddling, reggae tainted bass and twisted brass to the "bum-chack" rhythm. Delivered with the "Spirit that runs through Gogol Bordello" and many bottles of Green Ginger Wine. The "Tyrtle" sound has been developing and new tracks have the feel of a pumping gig with the polished studio sound, a fine combination.

Hollywood Suicide

"Hollywood Suicide, beauty and decay, fame and depression. Some pills and champagne, that was a popular choice of death among people in the show business era of the '50s. Get to the top, do it quick, being loved, being adored. Quit while your ahead, never let your fortune fade." They're a young punk & roll band from London, UK.
Always on the road, anywhere and anyhow..they smashed most of the stages around sharing great gigs with bands such as Klingonz, King Kurt, Meteors, The Grit, Peacocks, Long Tall Texans...
