Dexter Romweber Performs "Ruins of Berlin" Behind the Apollo Theater For Us, Names "Heroin" As Something He's Done Once and One Time Only
"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)
"Whats that lunatic up to these days?"- Mike Mills (R.E.M.)
"Dexter Romweber is the real thing, there's absolutley nothing phony about him." - Daddy O Grande (Los Straitjackets)
"Nobody plays rock ..n' roll with as much raw and naked passion as Chapel Hill, NC's Dexter Romweber ... the godfather of this generation's roots-rock guitar/drum renaissance." - Baltimore City Paper
"That's no greasy middle-aged man, that's Dexter Romweber, a greasy younger cat from Chapel Hill, North Carolina whose hillbilly guitar and soulful pipes recapture the primitive off-the-cuff brilliance of early rockabilly (as in Jerry Lee Lewis, not the Stray Cats). While other fans of the old stuff simply try to replicate the past, Flat Duo Jets ... somehow become the real thing, displaying nary a hint of nostalgia." - Trouser Press
“Long before such combustible duos as the White Stripes and Black Keys entered the lo-fi sweepstakes, teenage phenom Dexter Romweber was churning-out primitive, stripped-down guitar 'n' drums (-only) raunch with Chapel Hill, NC's Flat Duo Jets.” – Jeff Jarema - Creem Magazine
"Dexter Romweber is god. Dexter Romweber bestrides this world like a colossus. Dexter Romweber is the Voodoo Child." - James Mann - Ink 19
