Rockabilly around the world!

Today I wanna show you different styles of Rockabilly around the world and I wanna give you examples of Rockabilly music of different countries. It is interesting to see Rockabilly's from all over the world because everybody is different and unique.

Asia

Asian rockabilly look, love the skirt!
This couple looks really sweet and kind of normal rockabilly. As you will now see Asians style themselves a little bit more extremely than the Americans. You can also see how the Japanese people are dressed up for a rockabilly show.

Europe

Europeans are similar to Americans. And in this spot I wanna show you a famous rockabilly band from Germany. They are called the Baseballs and they cover modern songs from today and switch them into a Rockabilly style song.
I was lucky enough to see these guys live on stage at Nova Rock. Nova Rock is the biggest rock concert in Austria and this guys were able to get the baddest metal guys singing Angel from Robbie Williams with them.

USA

USA is the birthplace of rockabilly and here you can find really this spirit and the feeling of rockabilly. One of the most famous rockabilly interpret was Elvis Presley the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Australia

In the Australia I've read is the situation a little bit difficult because no one things that Australians have a good rockabilly scene but that isn't true. As I read in this blog they had about 1500 visitors at a rockabilly show and I also heard one important song from the rockabilly time is from Australia the song is called Shake Baby Shake from Johnny O'Keefe. So now you all know also in Australia you can find rockabilly.

Africa

Now I come to my last section of my world tour. And I really have to say I can't imagine that Africa has a rockabilly scene. Also they have a rockabilly scene. I read in a blog also from an interesting rockabilly band from South Africa and I don't want that you miss them. So have a look for them on the last YouTube video for today.

All in all we can say rockabilly lives around the world. Even if the styles differs a little bit but the feeling is in every country the same. So stay rockabilly and enjoy your live :-)
