Live Music: , Indie
Whilst easily lumped in with that whole lo-fi thing that seems to have been pumped out of LA for the last few years, Dum Dum Girls are saved from being just another band to tell your hipster mates about by their incredible ability to pen a decent pop song.
A whirlwind of snarling post-punk basslines, choppy guitars and vocal melodies reminiscent of big-haired '60s girl’s groups they sound like a meeting between Mika Miko and The Shangri-Las, and thankfully steer clear of that whole Bom-ba-Bom Bom drum beat that everyone seems to rip-off.
