Just been randomly downloading free songs from last.fm and found these guys from Berlin: Budzillus. They're described as "trash gypsy swing core or street polk'n'roll" and I'm not going to do any better than that, but what really caught my attention were the crazy gypsy swing chiptunes they've got going on... regular readers should hopefully be aware that i'm of the opinion that the absolute height of human musical achievement has for the most part been in the form of computer game music and demo music so anything with a bit of a bleep turns my head instantly, especially if it's got a gypsy-cabaret-polka-twist...
so check these out:
Budzillus - It's up to You - pure genius, bouncy cabaresque game music
Budzillus - Minor Bit - Minor Swing in a glitchy chiptune setting
And here's a couple of 'normal' band tunes from them:
Budzillus - Das Ende kommt zum Schluss - deutschegypsyjazz
Budzillus - Come With Me To The Casbah - cabaresque (don't know if that's actually a word, but i've just used it twice, and i intend to again (update: i already have! in the tags! ha!)) accordian jam
