Search - Flat Duo Jets :: Two Headed Cow

"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 "Much has been said about rockabilly roots-rocker Dexter Romweber over the years, both positive and negative, and sorting fact from fiction is no easy undertaking. Words like `crazy,' `possessed,' `frenzied,' and `demented' get thrown around quite a bit. But so do words like `authentic,' `visionary,' `genuine,' and `genius' ... What distinguished this band from other retro outfits is that the Flat Duo Jets were not really retro at all. While their music was certainly inspired by the rock-n-roll of the 1950s, one got the feeling that nothing was calculated ... This was the genuine article. This music was alive and well." -- Perfect Sound Forever "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 Two Headed Cow is a companion piece to the acclaimed documentary released last year. The album contains live tracks recorded in 1986, before the Flat Duo Jet's first full-length album was released years later. Two Headed Cow features seventeen scalding tracks as well as liner notes by Neko Case, director Tony Gayton, and others.
