LA-based Dum Dum Girls have been picked up by the venerable Sub Pop label. (No, not that kind of picked up, hayyyyyo!!!) The brainchild of a lady known only as Dee Dee, Dum Dum Girls make dark, hazy, lo-fi garage. So far Dum Dum Girls have releases through Captured Tracks, Hozac, and Zoo Music. Dee Dee has also collaborated with some Blank Dogs peeps via their project The Mayfair Set. Dum Dum Girls’ Sub Pop debut is called I Will Be, and features production from Dee Dee and Richard Gottehrer, who wrote “My Boyfriend’s Back” and “I Want Candy,” as well as producing the debut albums for Blondie and the Go-Gos and oh yes, co-founded Sire Records. The label press release declares I Will Be a tribute to love and fun. Wow! I love love and fun.
