Los Angeles’ Dum Dum Girls are a quartet led by the humanly charming and inhumanly talented Dee Dee. She borrowed the name from an Iggy Pop song, while her energetic music also owes a bit to The Stooges and other punk classics, as well as pop girls bands from the 60s. No wonder Dum Dum Girls are one of the most important new bands on the Sub Pop roster, and NME describes them as “more than just another garage rock pastiche, these girls have real heart.” |
