Would have liked to have given these away over the air, but since we’re off the air today for the fundraiser, some of you are going to be lucky people indeed, getting a chance to see Dum Dum Girls return to the stage here in LA at the Echoplex December 21st along with Abe Vigoda as part of IHeartComix, Media Contender & LA Record’s Check Yo Ponytail 2 series of concerts.
Dum Dum Girls, in my mind, leads the pack of the current wave of “girls in the garage” bands, including Vivian Girls, Best Coast, Agent Ribbons, Frankie Rose & the Outs, and on and on. The band recently rescheduled their US tour for 2011, this will be the first show they’ve played since Dee Dee’s mother passed. I’m also trying my hardest to get them into the KPFK studios sometime before February. If you want to see them live and in person, make sure to e-mail me (michael[at]meltingpotblog.com) before 6pm on Monday.
