Goin' Back to the Best: Flat Duo Jets!

So I got into a discussion with a new friend over at the Hideout, about rockabilly and how I've fallen outta love with most of it, 'cept the really nasty 'n' dirty slop...which got me to thinkin' of one of my top 5 "rockabilly" bands of all time, the Flat Duo Jets!
Dexter Romweber and Crow made a modern r'n'r duo not to be fucked with, way before the White Stripes and two-man band popularity...part rockabilly, part surf, all intense and raucous...their music helped me open my early ears to the trashy rock'n'roll I now so dearly dig...'nuf of that.
Though the followin' music video (can't hardly believe they ever made one!!) doesn't serve the boys enuf credit as the manic force of nature they were in their heyday, it does give ya a sample of their sound...fer a great glimpse at the real Dexter & Crow check out the documentary Athens, Ga: Inside/Out (skip over the snoozefest REM crap and get right to the 'Jets if ya see this on DVD) and buy all their albums (except the last one, Lucky Eye-what a stinker from such a great band)
Anyhow, I'll leave ya to google away if this noise gets ya goin' (and if ya don't dig it ya will never get it, baby)...oh yeah and don't bother lookin' to see 'em play as they unfortunately called it quits some time back, but Dex and Crow each have their own solo projects goin' and left us their best as the 'Jets.



fuck psychobilly, this is where the real rockabilly action's at!
