Rockabilly duo Dexter Romweber and drummer Crow came together in Carrboro, North Carolina (right next door to Chapel Hill) though they made Athens their base for a short amount of time. This how in the 1986 documentary on Athens GA Inside/Out they first came to exposure outside of their touring base. They had a small cassette issued in 1984 but they did not officially issue their first album a self-titled debut until 1990. In 1990 they toured with the Cramps and even made an appearance on the David Letterman show.
