Dex Romweber makes his acting debut, jams with Dave Matthews (?!)

Dexter Romweber, the former Flat Duo Jets frontman, makes his acting debut in "Lake City" alongside Sissy Spacek, Keith Carradine and Rebecca Romijn. In the movie, Romweber plays "Frank," the guitarist in Keith Carradine's band. In other odd-pairing news, Romweber's joined in the fictional band by none other than Dave Matthews. "Lace City" is directed by Perry Moore (producer for "The Chronicles of Narnia" franchise), and debuted in April at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Since filming for "Lake City" wrapped, Romweber's returned to music with The Dexter Romweber Duo, featuring his sister Sara (Let's Active, Snatches of Pink) on drums. The duo has been working on its Bloodshot Records debut with producer John Plymale and a bevy of guests including Cat Power, Neko Case, Exene Cervenka and Rick Miller of Southern Culture On The Skids, aiming for a February 2009 release.
