French band and a lot of folks over there actually fly the stars and bars as a symbol of rockabilly in the most precise terms, being a rebel or liking "hillybilly" type of music which is kind of what rockabilly is along with being country and rock 'n' roll I'd say. They are sort of like an English "Teddy Boy" band as well, I'd say, cerca 1960 rock 'n' roll right before the Beatles.

I'm no fan of Betty Page either, it seems to say '50s trash to these people, it's a rockabilly culture and exists in quite a few places in Europe.
I think these guys are from Germany, some good rocking.
