The Entertainment:

DEXTER ROMWEBER


Dex Romweber is nothing less than an icon of the American music underground. The former frontman for the world famous psycho-surf-rockabilly-garage-punk combo Flat Duo Jets released his first of nine albums in 1990 to rave reviews worldwide. He starred alongside R.E.M. and The B-52s in the 1987 cult classic film “Athens, GA Inside Out”. His first national tour in 1990 was as opening act for The Cramps. He was showcased on MTV's The Cutting Edge and 120 Minutes, starred in the Flat Duo Jets videos "Wild Wild Lover" and "Radioactive Man", made a stunning performance on Late Night with David Letterman, and has shared the stage with dozens of other rock luminaries including Iggy Pop and the White Stripes.

 

THE TREMORS


The Tremors dedication to the musical roots of rock'n'roll comes through in every whipsaw atomic blast. A night with the Tremors is a hell-bent chicken-run through the greatest music in American history - rockabilly - the hybrid of blues and country that became rock'n'roll and changed the world. This rockabilly is as pure, authentic and strong as Tennessee sour mash, and sure ain’t for the faint of heart!!

 

KILLER FILLER


Killer Filler is the creation of keyboardist, guitarist, and songwriter Chris "Crispy" Bess -- an all-instrumental five-piece outfit to meld his twin penchants for 1960s Memphis soul and California surf music. Funk, twang, jazz, lounge and swing flavor Crispy's songwriting as well as the B-side nuggets that he handpicks to arrange and cover. The Ventures, The Shadows, Booker T. and the MGs, and The Champs and The Meters are all channeled by the band in live sets.
