I do.
Currently, The Wise Guyz' "I'm in Love" off of Dig My Jive!
Hat's off to you man. I love those guys. Got hip to them when I lived over there. What a relief it was to hear something not Euro-techno-electro-dance or Russian hip-hop.
(I'll admit though, I never failed to find a bunch of skinny white guys not speaking English and doing gangsta rap to be entertaining)

They sure know how to capture that yesteryear feeling. I stumbled upon them somehow once upon a time ago and have been hooked ever since. I have yet to see them live and don't know that I ever will, but they are a lot of fun. Hopefully, they will gather a larger following.

Ha! Exactly. Reminds me of the Russian police choir singing about staying up all night to get lucky, at the opening ceremony to the Olympics. It was a bit surreal, really, the ever-present techno- pop soundtrack to day to day life there.
Touch of Evil - I do hope that those guys can one day get to the states. I would imagine they would do well, at least on your side of the country. Apparently they are fairly successful in many European markets. I was surprised to learn that there is even an annual rockabilly festival in Kiev, called Ukrabilly Bang. It is usually some time in the spring and unfortunately (fortunately) I was not there when it was going on.
It would have sure been interesting.

I'm also a big Wise Guyz fan. If you're into Eastern European rock and roll, you might also like to check out The Mad Men from Croatia and The Mystery Gang from Hungary.

Haven't heard The Mad Men, but Mystery Gang are definitely a rockin' lot. Plenty of energy from that trio.

There's one clip of The Mad Men here
The song that got me into The Mystery Gang is "Voodoo Doll". That's how a Gretch guitar should be played :eusa_clap

That is a cool one. I first heard "Gang Up" and liked it enough to buy the disc. "Voodoo Doll" is also on that CD.
Ghost Rider I see that you are in Germany. There seems to be a lot of very good rockin' acts coming g from Europe these days. One of my favorites from your neck is Cherry Casino & the Gamblers. They have
a distinct, sort of swingin' sound.
It is ironic to me that I live only a few hours ride from the birthplace of Rock'n-Roll, Memphis TN, and only about an hour away from the grave of Hank Williams, but these styles of traditional and rockin' and honky tonk music are nowhere to be heard. At best I can hope to step out and catch some traditional blues (rare) or occasionally some zydeco.

Yes, there's some great German bands at the moment. Cherry Casino and the Gamblers were playing just 15 minutes away from me at the end of June. It was a great concert, supported by The Roundup Boys, who are basically the same line up, with Cherry Casino playing drums for them as you can see in this clip.
My favourite at the moment is Marc and the Wild Ones. I saw them last year (also in this area). If you've not heard them, there's a clip here
In addition, there are a couple of local rock and roll/rockabilly bands that often play for free at local festivals etc. I really can't complain
