Title: The Scuttles - Maybe the youngest tribute band in the world
Post by: Leprechaun on November 07, 2010, 10:07:29 AM

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to watch and listen to the "The Scuttles" which maybe is the youngest Dire Straits/MK-tribute band in the world. The guys are 23 or 24 years old, coming from Leipzig in Eastern Germany. The guitar work was very fine, nice licks. They also had nice improvised parts and outros (Expresse Love - live version).

Watch some live and studio recordings:
