  • Remember Grand Ole Party? I do.

  • LOVE THIS SONG!

  • i got dis by typin in dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum

  • Waaves suck

  • @slimdebiff Check out all-girl band Stealing Sheep, their lo-fi melodic beauty is similar to Dum Dum Girls. youtube.com/watch?v=K2JgXLizs1­4

  • Who doesnt love a dum dum

  • Sounds great. Too bad the hipsters are probably going to swarm all over them. They're get more popular, then they'll disown them... :-P

  • Vivian Girls, and some of the early stuff from The Donnas

  • And Harlem of course.

  • Urban Outfitters sucks. A bunch of stuck up college girls. They are dum dums

  • holy fucking holy shit OMG i just found out dee dee is -kristen gundred-

    that woman gives me such a mindboner!!!!

  • Check out The Manhattan Love Suicides. Split up now though , but slightly overlooked at the time because they didn't come from the USA. They were friends with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

  • Best Coast dude!

  • they're playing with vampire weekend yay !

  • I went to la route du rock when I was on holiday in france, first band on but really really good live 

  • @XXtoxikPixiXX best coast

  • if you like this then check out No Age, Wavves, Vivian Girls, Male Bonding. All great acts in a similar vein.

  • oommmyygawwwddd theire coming to vancouver!!!! falalalaaaaa cant waittt

  • love them!

  • I watched them live. They are fucking awesome!

  • goin to see them vampire weekend and beach house this august!

  • anybody knows Talulah Gosh? way better than this 20 years ago

  • these sound like The Shop Assistants. (a lot)

  • Woot Woot..!!

  • yeah the reason why this is so lo-fi is because if it was high fidelity it would be obviously how terrible this really is. anyone who would listen to this is obviously not a musician and if they are they must be equally as talentless.

  • this is good, its a lot denser and filled out than you first think. for me anyway

  • Yay for LA music!!! Brooklyn can suck it :) (jk)

  • i kinda really like these older versions better. the ones on the full-length are more static and oomph-less...but yea i bought it anyway.

  • Come on people.How much more of this shit can we take? The secret to success: be white, skinny, grow bangs, rip off the Mary Chain, Velvets, Shangri-Las, Vasolines, a bit of reverb and you're money. Even indie has become formulaic. Next.

  • @thesleepingpolicemen I have to agree. Im sick of all of these critically acclaimed indie bands at the moment. These bands are not only unoriginal but boring as well. Where's the fucking passion? Not only that but where's the ambition? If you're happy playing to about 10 aenemic looking hipsters then thats what you deserve. If I was in a band as shit as this I wouldnt have any ambitions for my music either.

  • @thesleepingpolicemen Agreed, but I would say that Dum Dum Girls are a bright spot in an otherwise godawful trend in indie rock. Listen to this right after Vivian Girls or, even worse, that smug motherfucker Wavves, and this sounds like a modern classic. It's like everyone is competing to see who can put forth the least effort and still get a good review on pitchfork. At least here they bothered to give it a catchy chorus.

  • @thesleepingpolicemen

    what u do anyway ?

  • check out Times New Viking

  • How in God's name is Richard Gottehrer involved with these guys and yet the mix sounds this bad? This tune has loads of potential commercially, but it sounds like a bootleg that was recorded in a really reverberant hall with mics at the back of it and the band toward the front. It's almost like they made the mixing decisions by flipping a coin. So the melody and backing vocals get buried and the rhythm section has no punch.

    The other tunes I have heard from them sound equally as terrible.

  • can someone tell me where i can download some dum dum girls? or even better can someone tell me where i can buy some of their shit in the san diego area?

    thanks!

  • itunes

  • her voice is golden...

  • I like the Dum Dum Girls even more after seeing them live. I thought they sounded better live than their recordings. They were fuller, punchier and bassier. I think the lead singer is really talented but it gets over looked just because of their style. People are assholes. I'm going to try to see them again at Art Fag Fest in San Diego.

    Also check out the Crystal Stilts - Love Is A Wave. (sharin' the luv)

  • yeah the vocals are a little lost in the reverb and the mix but damn that girl's got some pipes. i like these guys.

  • the primitives

  • Mark Sultan/The Box Elders/ Jay Reatard/Hunx & His Punx/

  • totally love this low-fi sound at the moment but who else is doin stuff like this?

  • Check out the band Wavves. A bit more abrasive than this tune, but they're lo-fi and have a lot of buzz surrounding them at the moment.

  • i'm on it THX!!!

  • @kenslinks vivan girls and the babies

  • @kenslinks  do you anyother bands than the wawes that are like this?

  • @XXToxikPixiXX the kills!! "jewel thief"

  • @XXToxikPixiXX Vivian Girls are very similar.

  • Wavves and Vivian Girls suck live.

    Dum Dum Girls not.

  • @kenslinks smith westerns!

  • @kenslinks you can even check out Best Coast

  • @XXToxikPixiXX The Black Lips, Warpaint, and The Growlers. Much better then wavves in my opinion.

  • @XXToxikPixiXX @kenslinks Vivian Girls, any girl band from the late 70s early 80s hahaha! BUt this is defiantly my favorite band(: And this is possibly the best song ever made<3

  • @XXToxikPixiXX

    The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. :)

  • @XXToxikPixiXX Try Best Coast.

  • @kenslinks I can recommend are The Raveonettes,

  • @bigbadbboy126 I saw them with Crocodile and the Raveonettees at the BellyUp...great show.

  • @XXToxikPixiXX Crocodiles (the singer's boyfriend's band), Times New Viking, Best Coast, and others... It's a big 'scene' right now apparently ;-)

  • @XXToxikPixiXX best coast are like this but the singer for best coast is married to the singer wavves

  • @XXToxikPixiXX La Sera, a side project by one of the vivian girls are similar too, check out some 60s garage as well, the sonics, the castaways, the outcasts etc.

  • @XXToxikPixiXX listen to best coast! sound similar

  • @XXToxikPixiXX best coast

  • For more on this sound- you may like the Paragraphs (San Diego), Tijuana Panthers, and for sure Black Lips

  • The Fizzbombs - 'Surfin Winter'

  • Wavves. Crocodiles. Old Brian Jonestown Massacre (all of the BJM stuff is fucking MINT, but the old stuff is lo-fi), Black Lips.

    Sorry for the long wait, you've probably heard a lot of these artists by now.

  • lol most of em yeah and ur right BJM are the shit but havent heard of crocodiles tho...gonna check em out now thx!!

  • Saw Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles open for the Ravoenettes last night in Solana Beach .... All bands were unreal ... Ravoenettes of course are hard to beat, but Crocodiles were highly impressive

  • @slimdebiff ther's wavves for sure, little girls, and the vivian girls too. also mika miko some what but they aren't around. and no age to kind of.

  • @slimdebiff CROCODILES

    The lead singer of Dum Dum Girls is actually married to one of the members of Crocodiles, hahaha.

  • @slimdebiff Check out Vivian Girls too

  • @slimdebiff google kgw [dot] me and go to the album ponyoak

  • @slimdebiff vivian girls, as all the other replies have already told you... dang. also, look up black tambourine. theyre old but theyre very good.
