Get off your ass, JohnnyK, and get down to Cafe Nine Sunday night...

The Dex Romweber Duo
Part rockabilly, part surf guitar, part early Elvis, but more than all that.  Big influence on Jack White of the White Stripes.  Go Kat Go's (Michelle Terranova) final show at Cafe Nine.  Doors open at 8; show at 9.  Here's a podcast discussing Dex and his new cd- podcast!
"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')
"Dex Romweber is nothing less than an icon of the American music underground. Pioneering the template for the stripped to-the-essentials guitar/drums duo format in the (should be) world famous psycho-surf-rockabilly-garage-punk combo Flat Duo Jets - so often emulated, so rarely duplicated - Dex continues his resurgence with the new album Is That You In The Blue? With sister Sara on drums, the DEX ROMWEBER DUO is a potent combo that'll get your leg twitching with the beat and your heart racing - and sometimes breaking - with the feral excitement of music. If it don't, you might want to consider turning in your "I Heart Rock n Roll" badge. Seriously"
