Sounds Like

"They're the only local band I've seen that have the ability to firmly place a huge smile on every single face in the crowd, invoke spontaneous dancing and create an electric buzz wherever they play."
NARC

"Be it the frenetic polka of El Rapido Bastardo that makes Gogol Bordello look lethargic, the rocket-fuelled violin punk of Green Henry, or the folk tinged strumming of the unashamedly hippy song Tree Song, you'd be hard pressed to find a more appropriate use of the word eclectic."
THE COURIER

"Their aural sunshine mixes bluesy rockabilly with skiffle interludes and filters it through a
feelgood fairground sound in a woozy triumph. Intoxicating."
THE CRACK

"One of the most fulfilling live experiences in the North-east!"
NORTHERN ECHO

"The Newcastle-based sextet shift effortlessly between sublime folk riffing, rockabilly and, on occasions, blues-rock that familiarises itself with Led Zeppelin. They even make skiffle interesting, and this is because where they harness these styles and influences, they don't dwell on them. All the time you know that they are smiling, because this is happy music played by happy people. I for one am glad that, in a country where Blues-rock has become so stale there is one band using initiative and doing something enlightening."
BLUES MATTERS

"They whipped the room-restricted crowd into a minor frenzy with their unique blend of rockabilly blues" THE JOURNAL, CULTURE MAG

   About Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle
Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle are an all singing, all dancing pack of Troubadours from the UK (and Jersey;0). Totally at home playing on stage, busking in the street, dancing on your screen or jammin' down the studio. In a flash they're upon you in a wave of good times, rock and steam-rolling you into joyous submission!

Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle - What's going on at The Cumberland Arms?


Formative years were spent in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Robbie and Roger, having met on a rooftop, decided to form this band.
In this band, as in life people came and went, things changed and things got better.
Gigs started filling up, records started selling, horizons broadened, time continues to roll and we keep on keeping on.

El Rapido Bastardo



Check out a selection of videos via the links below:

Full gig recorded live at The Tyne

Definitely Live at the National Forest Festival

Studio Footage - Just Say NO Blues

El Bastardo Rapido @ Newcastle City Hall

This Ol' Train on a Train

Christmas Party '07 @ The Cluny

Wonderous George's (rather unnerving) trip round the City Hall??
