Welcome

I was turned onto Dex Romweber and the Flat Duo Jets by a professor when he found out that I was a big fan of the White Stripes.  He made me a mix cd, and since then I have been collecting all the Flat Duo Jets/Dex Romweber Duo stuff that I can get my hands on.

I found that the internet was severely lacking in resources on the band, so I created this blog to provide a data base and jumping off point for people looking to dig a little deeper.

This blog is meant solely to promote a greater knowledge of the bands and their records, and if any of my posts create a problem, please contact me and I will remove them.  Also, if anyone has anything to contribute to the site, please let me know!
