For two relentlessly prolific artists like psychobilly headmaster Dex
Romweber—the man behind '90s punk/blues/roots rock mash-up artists Flat Duo
Jets—and anti-folk originator Paleface, their influence in underground rock
is far more tangible than the music itself. Whether it's providing the
template for Jack White's garage blues or blazing a trail for chanteuses Cat
Power and Neko Case (as the former has done), or lending lo-fi psych-folk
musings to early Beck and swaying the likes of the Moldy Peaches and
Langhorne Slim (like the latter), both artists' are well overdue for
recognition. With Dex supporting his latest studio effort Ruins of Berlin
and Paleface touring in support of The Show Is on the Road, these two
proto-punk folkies may finally find that appreciative audience that has so
long eluded them. Nashville’s own bizarro rockers The Mattoid are scheduled
to open.
