Dum Dum Girls
Add To My Artists

Dum Dum Girls are a band which formed in 2008 in Los Angeles, Califonia, United States. The band consists of Dee-Dee (vocals, guitar), Jules (guitar, vocals), Bambi (bass, vocals) and Sandy (drums).

Dee Dee formed Dum Dum Girls as a solo project-the name a nod to both The Vaselines' album, Dum-Dum, and the Iggy Pop song Dum Dum Boys - and released a home-recorded CDR on her label Zoo Music followed by a 7" on Hozac and a 12" EP on Captured Tracks.

Dum Dum Girls released their full-length debut album "I Will Be" on March 30th, 2010 on Sub Pop. Produced by Dee Dee and Richard Gottehrer (Strangeloves, Voidoids, Blondie, The Go-Gos and, more recently, The Raveonettes), I Will Be is neither lo-fi nor too polished. Just under thirty minutes with eleven songs, it's a short tribute to love, loss, fun, fear and the classic pop form of the '60s girl groups and early punk rockers.

Dum Dum Girls released their second full-length album "Only in Dreams" on September 26, 2011. The Hold Your Hand Songfacts reports that it was recorded in Josh Homme's Pink Duck studios and deals with the trauma of parental loss and emotional distance.

Widowspeak
Add To My Artists

Widowspeak is a Brooklyn, New York, United States-based quartet that play hazy atmospheric and , formed in 2010.

There are aspects of the band's sound - abrasive guitar hooks, immediate drumming, and incessant codas - that speak to living in a big city. But there's also a dreary sparseness, a David Lynch-esque darkness, culled from the other members' native Washington.

The band's skeletal sound began to take shape, with Robert's rust-belt guitar parts lending a restless, sinister edge to Molly's subdued melodies and soft vocal style. Writing became a collaborative effort, and Widowspeak racked up an arsenal of songs. By fall the trio had recorded a six-track cassette using only a built-in laptop microphone and Garageband. The self-released October Tape, as it was called, fell into the hands of Brooklyn's Captured Tracks. Weeks later, after only their sixth show, Widowspeak recorded the 7" single Harsh Realm, in anticipation of a full LP.

Their eponymous debut LP was released on August 9th, 2011 on Captured Tracks.

The original lineup :

Molly Hamilton - guitar, vocals;
Robert Thomas - guitar;
Michael Stasiak - drums.
