Bleached — Next Stop
from Ride Your Love (April 2013)
New track from the forthcoming album by the Clavin sisters, aka Bleached. Lot tighter than their earlier stuff. Dum Dum Girls best watch out. Rock’n’roll smackdown anyone?
**Also** don’t miss their show at Bowery Ballroom on April 23rd, with none other than yerdarling faves Ex Cops opening. Rawk.
Les Calamités - Vélomoteur (1987)
This is where the Dum Dum Girls come from. Maybe with a touch more summer, a bit more beach. Not that Dee Dee has explicitly mentioned Les Calamités as an influence. Amazing girl-group singing on the chorus…
Dum Dum Girls warming up at House of Vans, Kent Ave… too bad you can’t see em but sounded good!

Dum Dum Girls — Bhang Bhang, I’m a Burnout
from I Will Be (2010)
This entire album is great, but this is my favorite track of the bunch. The vocals throughout the album are great, and they’ve also managed to pull off the feat of sounding as lo-fi as the Heartbreaker’s L.A.M.F. in 2010. Impressive.
