I got a chance to catch the DUM DUM Girls play during SXSW '11 at Waterloo Records this past year. I had their show on the list of "Must See" during this years SXSW lineup only to be able to catch some of the sounds from their upcoming album,
Only in Dreams, set to be released on September 27th, 2011. I am a huge fan of their 2010 LP release, released weeks after SXSW 2010, called
I Will Be which played out to be almost like a nice tribute to 60's girl groups with some punk thrown into the mix. I dig it. I jammed that album hard for at least 3 months straight.
According to Sub Pop and an
interview with Dee Dee, the groups leader,
Only in Dreams is more polished and a little more pop driven. The Dum Dum Girls, excitingly, teams up with Richard Gottehrer (The Ravonettes, Go Go's and Blondie) & Sune Rose Wagner (The Ravonettes) on this new album . Having heard most of (and love)
He Gets Me High EP at SXSW this past year, I think this next Dum Dum Girls album will be excellent.
....and guess what? Look who is coming to the Mohawk next week to headline for
Sailor Jerry's Austin Psych Fest on August 12th? You should go just to hear and see some of their latest & new songs from the upcoming album.
Austin's own,
Shapes Have Fangs (a local favorite of mine) with UFO Club and Night Beats are scheduled to play before The Dum Dum Girls take the stage. Get there early, you know the Mohawk's capacity is less than 900? Yup, it is.
Dude. It's all free too. RSVP
here, if it ain't too late.
