SOTD #130 // Dex Romweber Duo: ‘Lookout’ [Bloodshot Takeover]
One of Jack White’s favourite artists – he’s quoted as saying “His attitude towards music is remarkable. 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” – 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 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 icons including Iggy Pop.
The Dex Romweber Duo also features Dex’s celebrated sibling Sara Romweber (Mitch Easter, Lets Active, Snatches of Pink) on drums. Don’t be fooled by her slight frame or affable demeanor, she smacks the shit out her kit.
Today’s free download is ‘Lookout’ which is taken from their 2009 album Ruins Of Berlin.
Ruins Of Berlin is available to buy from the official Bloodshot Records website now.
