The Roebucks, based in south Louisiana, formed in Baton Rouge by Robbie and Sammy in 1991. Basically we had to do something after boasting in every bar in town we were playing in a Rockabilly band. We've been doing originals and a few obscure covers for years. And all in the style of the early Rock 'n Roll artists from the late 50's/early 60's... and oh yeah, and the surf and country thang from the 60's. Hell, it all ties together, don't it? Lots of twangin' guitar, cheap liquor, corny smartass jokes, semi-interesting stories, and striking good looks. Yeah that's us -- a sort of a Surfin' Johnny Cash meets Bo Diddley kind of thing...

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

Please submit artist news, reviews and events to CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , so I can keep German country fans up to date about their favorit country stars.
Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.
