Flat Duo Jets

One of my favorite bands of all time. The first three albums S/T, Harlem, White Trees, and the last one, Lucky Eye, are all great from start to finish. The first is live to two track, and the last one has lush sixties pop orchestration. Both settings suit them well. Dex Romweber's solo album Chased By Martians is also great. Dexter has given some of the most mesmerizing performances I've ever seen, and in some pretty odd places (porch of a gourmet food store, a barely announced gig at a dive bar in Boston.) He'll channel the ghosts of Eddie Lang through to Bryan Gregory onto the stage, then show you new ghosts.

i went to high school with dexter - he used to bring an acoustic guitar to school and do rockabilly numbers in the courtyard at the top of his lungs. all the black girls thought he was just the cutest thing ever.

afair he was the first person to ever get me stoned.

I like the song called "Old Soul" a lot.

I only heard a tape once, in my friend's car. Meant to pick something up after that but just never saw anything out rec shoppin.

Yeah, I used to like them around the early 90s, along w/ the likes of Gallon Drunk & Buffalo Tom. Haven't heard their stuff in ages, but I recall it being some good rock/rockabilly.

i think i only ever heard go go harlem baby and the In Stereo covers ep. The latter still gets played a good bit.

Go Go Harlem Baby and some other brief tape I have (something about a prison break, maybe?) are both pretty cool.

Damn - Love this band - I don't think you'll find many with a heartbeat and a pulse that don't.

i remember reading a white stripes article once and jack white was a big fan of these dudes growing up and i was all like "oh dip that makes total sense homie"

Dexter's bits are the best things in Athens GA Inside/Out.

Big fan of the first (s/t) album, Go Go just slightly less so. Saw them at an in-store in 1990, and I couldn't believe that vacuum-cleaner-looking thing they played.

"and then there's little brother dexter. . . ." still love this

too young

sounds like he was hollowed out but not too healthy, and just never got over his sister's death
