Unknown Hinson, Flat Duo Jets

Though they were based in North Carolina’s Research Triangle for most of their existence, psychobilly pioneers Flat Duo Jets made a name for themselves in the early-’80s Athens scene, famously strutting their stuff for Athens, GA: Inside/Out filmmakers in 1987. The group officially called it quits in the late ’90s, but fearless leader Dexter Romweber—who’s famously been cited as one of Jack White’s main inspirations—continues to tour and record under his own name and with various other projects. Romweber and longtime drummer Crash LaResh will perform as Flat Duo Jets in support of the ageless hillbilly-vampire wonder Unknown Hinson Saturday evening at The Foundry.
