@NintendoSinceBirth1 Yes it is. We "snuck" into a music building on the campus on UNC-Chapel Hill. Dex put out a full piano album a few years ago. This was just some improv stuff he did.
Dex Romweber duo, sábado 23 abril, sala Black Note de Valencia, toda la info en la web de Playproducciones. ( son coleguillas de Jack White ). Investiga sobre esta interesante y versatil banda
Found info about them in a newspaper article...listened to 5 or 6 clips on Y/T...interesting!!! Does he play his guitar out of tune on purpose?!?! Seriously... I'd like to know!!!
Dex has the rock & roll spirit. It's true and honest. He busts his ass when he performs. He understands rock & roll and how it can free one's mind and soul. HE GETS IT! Flat Duo Jets self titled first album so fucking great. Listen to "Tribute to Gene". Man, THAT is rock & roll. Dexter Romweber is rock & roll. Rock the fuck on, Dex!
i really like dex's stuff...songs that have no resolve. if u start the song over from the end,it dosent start at the begining, it continues from the end...i cant say that about anyone else!
Funny story - I saw this guy at the DMV in Chapel Hill yesterday. He was trying to transfer a title into his name but the DMV guy was confused trying to reconcile his driver's license with the name on the title. "Who is Dexter?" "Well, you see, Dexter is me, I am Dexter - I'm a performer and Dexter is my stage name." I thought he was full of BS... but apparently not! He left frustrated and without having the title transfered.
Used to see the DuoJets back in the 80's and still see Dex when I can. In fact, saw him and Sara last night in Nashville and they were incendiary. The guy is a true independent spirit, and a pioneer. And yes, Jack White was at the gig, watching admiringly.
wow!!! this video well-expresses the combo of mysterious-emotion/conviction-raw-melodious sounds, then open friendliness i experienced the other day watching, then meeting these two. man, what a tremendous creative act!!! yes, sara was so very nice. she was real generous in showing my how that cajon music box worked, too. dex's singing just blew my mind... what vocal control & dexterity. ok, that's enough...
Such a treat, absolutely the most rock and roll experience to be had! The Dex Romweber Duo must be seen and heard live, in the flesh, in order to fully appreciate and understand the raw power and fantastic energy Dexter and Sarah create. Don't miss it if they come through your town! Dexter, and his lovely sister Sara, are the kindest human beings, the salt of the Earth, two in a billion, for sure! I love them dearly. The forthcoming DRD record is going to change the world, I am certain!
Dex is the greatest performer I have ever seen, and that includes a *lot* of folks over the past 25+ years. Here's hoping he gets the recognition he's due. Really glad to see Sara on the drums, too. Our beloved Crow from the Flat Duo Jets era is, by the way, alive & well and also has a solo album out.
I saw him a few days ago supporting Cat Power and it was so exciting cause I never thought Id get to see him living in the UK and all. He was great. Thankyou Chan for bringing him with you.
She saw the Flat Duo Jets open up for the Cramps and thats pretty much where it started. She said in this interview that she had a crush on him and loved the Silvertone guitar he played (and stills plays - he's only ever used the one). Her friend happened to be selling one so she bought it just to have in her room cause she thought it looked cool. Eventually she started playing it. If you find any old pictures of Chan from the '90s you'll see her using that guitar.
yeah, i knew she had a silvertone back in the day. at the show when one of the roadies brought a silvertone onstage i thought she was coming on to do some solo stuff first. i was surprised when dex walked out and starting noodling with it.
Saw Dex and Sara in Seattle. Long live the DRD!

No he plays a really old and cheap Silvertone guitar so its hard to keep in tune. I think its worth it for the kick ass tone he gets.
