Dexter Romweber - FREE INSTORE

Dex Romweber - Free In-store Performance
Saturday, April 4th - 4:00pm

Many of you will be familiar with Dexter Romweber from his days fronting The Flat Duo Jets, he's been called an "Icon of the American music underground" and has been cited by no less than Jack White as an "huge influence". The latest Dex Romweber Duo album, Ruins Of Berlin, features guest appearances by Chan Marshall (Cat Power), Excene Cervenka (X), Rick Miller (Southern Culture on the Skids) and Neko Case. Now days Dex is joined by his sister Sara in a duo that combines Psychobilly, punk, surf, and crushed-velvet lounge into a heady stew they lovingly call grease-soaked, primitive proto-rock. The comparisons include The Black Keys, Reverend Horton Heat, and the offspring of some unholy union between Brian Setzer and the Cramps.

A very relevant quote:
"Dexter Romweber was and is a huge influence on my music. I owned all of his records as a teenager, and was thrilled at the fact that we were able to play together recently on tour. His attitude towards music is remarkable. And his songwriting, along with his love of classic American music from the south, be it rockabilly, country or R&B, is one of the best kept secrets of the rock n roll underground." - Jack White (White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather)
