This Los Angeles band named themselves after Talk Talk's "Dum Dum Girl" and possibly Iggy Pop's "Dum Dum Boys" track as well. In fact, whether it was Iggy Pop who started it or not, but Dum Dum is now common in musical culture... The Vaselines had an album 'Dum-Dum' which also may have played a part in the naming of this band. The Dum Dum Girls recently released album 'Only In Dreams' is a blend of 60's girl-group, garage rock, a little bit of shoegazer and some Mazzy Star added on the slower moment or two... "Coming Down" is an example of that. 'Only In Dreams' is a bit more polished than the debut album but with no compromises.
If you like indie pop and the 60's girl-group bands like The Shangri-Las... then this is for you.
