Greetings all!
While cruising iTunes for some new music...I came across Dick Brave and the Backbeats. Anyone heard this? Great music, interesting choice of covers as well.

Dick's real name is Sascha Schmitz, he's a german Pop-Singer. Some years ago he took a break from making music, and travelled to the States, there he visited Graceland, and got the idea to form a rockabillyband to play just one Gig, so he searched some musicians, and booked some clubs. Well, the end of that story was, that he was more succesful as Dick Brave, than he had ever been as Sasha. This is the Band that brought me to rockabilly, because well, you don't hear it very often today, but when I heard the sound of that guitar, it blew me away! The name Dick Brave and the Backbeats was chosen, because it sounded like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
These are the two official Videos they produced, quite cool I think:
