Flat Duo Jets
Flat Duo Jets was a blues-infused rockabilly band from Carrboro and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They were a major influence on several bands of the 1990s and 2000s, including The White Stripes. In inteviews, Jack White (the White Stripes' lead singer and guitarist) has often acknowledged Dexter Romweber's influence. Their first album, Flat Duo Jets, was recorded direct to two tracks in a garage in the late 1980s but not released until early 1990. Also in early 1990 the band opened for The Cramps on a national tour. Jim Dickinson produced their second LP, Go Go Harlem Baby. Their ninth and last studio album, Lucky Eye, was their first major label release (Outpost Records), and was produced by Scott Litt, best known as a producer of R.E.M.

I was rewatching IT MIGHT GET LOUD, and came across a reference to this band. Drums and guitar. That's it. But I agree with Jack White. The sound approaches mind-blowing. I may have to spend more time listening to this band.
The best part is with my YouTube ripper, I can rip the audio files right from YouTube without paying a dime.
Oh wait. Am I allowed to say that?

Here's Dexter Romweber today. Playing with his sister, Sara Romweber.
He is better than ever. Better musician. Better songwriter. Better singer. And Sara smokes on drums
