Flat Duo Jets, an American rockabilly band, emerged from the effervescent music scene of the early 1980s, gaining recognition for their raw, energetic sound and stripped-down instrumentation. Though often regarded as one of the more cult-favored acts of their time, this Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based outfit left an indelible mark on the underground music circuit and the rockabilly revival that would seep into the mainstream years later. The duo was fronted by the enigmatic guitarist and singer Dexter Romweber, alongside the ever-dynamic Chris "Crow" Smith on drums. Both played with a fervent zeal that made their performances memorable.

Renowned for their vigorous live shows and the atavistic purity of their recordings, Flat Duo Jets expertly blended rockabilly with early rock and roll, punk, and blues influences, garnering a diverse fan base. Their discography includes compelling titles such as "Wild Wild Love" and "Safari," which showcase their authenticity and unbridled spirit. Despite never achieving top-chart success, they left an influential legacy, inspiring numerous musicians with their passionate, no-frills approach to music-making. The 2006 documentary "Two-Headed Cow" chronicles the story of the band and Dexter Romweber's contributions to the rock and roll landscape, further cementing the Flat Duo Jets' place as unsung heroes of their genre.
