{Congrats to Javier R. and Rachel G., winners of the tickets to go see Dum Dum Girls @ the Echo!}
Been a long time since we were able to do one of these, I think we’ll have a few more in coming weeks. LA based Dum Dum Girls are, in my humble opinion, leading the way in a “girls in the garage” styled revival that also includes Best Coast, Neverever, Golden Triangle and The Vivian Girls. They are playing at the Echo this Thursday July 1st, one of their last shows in California before heading out for Europe on their own and then around the country and world in brief stints on tour with Vampire Weekend and MGMT. Their debut “I Will Be” has been reviewed here and remains one of my fave releases of 2010.
If you interested in going to the show, e-mail me at michael @ meltingpotblog.com and I’ll let you know if you’ve won tickets by Wednesday June 30th! Here’s a taste of what to expect, DDG performing at SXSW in all their fuzzed out glory…
this show was so rad. i just moved to California from Philadelphia so it was my first time at the Echo…it was a really awesome night. Dunes were totally chill, Crocodiles set was sweaty and highly energetic, and Dum Dum Girls were totally foxes on stage. Mega babes. Thanks for the tickets!
