For all of those people (myself included) who felt miffed when Dum Dum Girls cancelled the last portion of their tour with The Vaselines this fall, plus some of their own, 2011’s looking up. The Vaselines have gone back to Glasgow for post-tour snogging or whatever it is they do, but Dum Dum Girls will prevail without them — the nominal reference to the perverted Scots will just have to suffice on marquees. Come February, Dee Dee promises to follow through with new tourdates across the United States. As collateral for the deal, DDG agreed to play a show this December in Los Angeles!
Oh, and there’s a reason for all these dates in ‘11: the impending release (and subsequent celebration) on March 1 of a new EP on Sub Pop, called He Gets Me High. It’ll be available on CD, 12-inch, and mp3, which means that all you Ogg Vorbis fanboys are out of luck.
He Gets Me High EP tracklisting:
01. Wrong Feels Right
02. He Gets Me High
03. Take Care of My Baby
04. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (The Smiths cover)
