Bio

Dex Romweber is nothing less than an icon of the American music underground. The former frontman for the world famous psycho-surf-rockabilly-garage-punk combo Flat Duo Jets released his first of nine albums in 1990 to rave reviews worldwide. He starred alongside R.E.M. and The B-52s in the 1987 cult classic film “Athens, GA Inside Out”. His first national tour in 1990 was as opening act for The Cramps. He was showcased on MTV's The Cutting Edge and 120 Minutes, starred in the Flat Duo Jets videos "Wild Wild Lover" and "Radioactive Man", made a stunning performance on Late Night with David Letterman, and has shared the stage with dozens of other rock luminaries including Iggy Pop and the White Stripes.

The Dex Romweber Duo also features Dex’s celebrated sibling Sara Romweber (Mitch Easter, Lets Active, Snatches of Pink) on drums. Together they have been performing electrifying concerts all over the US and Europe, touring with Cat Power, Southern Culture On The Skids, Legendary Shack Shakers, Reverend Horton Heat, Neko Case and the White Stripes. .... Dex is the subject of a new documentary movie, “Two-Headed Cow,” which chronicles his legendary career. The movie includes testimonials by Jack White, Neko Case, Cat Power and Exene Cervenka amongst others, all of whom cite Dex as a major personal influence.

Select press quotes:

“Dex 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. [He is] is one of the best kept secrets of the rock n roll underground.” - Jack White, White Stripes

"The dynamic Dexter keeps the careening, untamed spirit of early rock 'n' roll alive by not taking anything too seriously." - Spin

"Hey Quentin: Here's your next soundtrack." - The Winnipeg Sun

"Ruins of Berlin is a tart martini wryly wrought from rockabilly, instrumental/surf rock, pre-1970s country and pre-rock 'n' roll pop. Romweber croons as much as he rocks out, his smooth, often wistful baritone alternately evoking Roy Orbison, Robert Gordon, and Tom Jones." - Cleveland Free Times

"Romweber can still play a solo that makes the thrill hairs on the back of the neck stand up and sing a sad love song with enough emotion to tie heartstrings in painful knots." - Crawdaddy

"It could be argued that a world which for the last 20 years has allowed an artist like Dex Romweber to rave on in relative obscurity is a world that really doesn't deserve him." -eMusic

"Ruins of Berlin is Dex's best album in a while." - Blurt

"Dex Romweber has got to be the last of the great American singers. The way he shifts between honeyed croon to snotty snarl - the very goalposts of rock 'n' roll - is unequalled... Dex Romweber is cooler than Elvis. " - Rochester City Newspaper

"Music may never do right by Dexter Romweber like he's done by it. He pours heart and soul into that fickle bitch, wrapping her in old-school, six-string plumage of richly hued country, blues and rockabilly shadowed by the legendary Sun Studios." - Independent Weekly (NC)

"Ruins of Berlin... finds the sorely underrated songwriter and interpreter at his most focused and captivating in at least a decade." - Connect Savannah
