Dum Dum Girls
Some bands start with a single person and a vision. Kristen Gundred, known as Dee-Dee, began recording, virtually solo, in '08 as the Dum Dum Girls. The name was inspired by both The Vaselines' album "Dum Dum" and the Iggy Pop song "Dum Dum Boys." Singles, released by Sub Pop, lead to the creation of a quartet.
The group's '10 full-length debut, "I Will Be," was co-produced by Dee-Dee and Richard Gottehrer, whose resume included work with Blondie and The Ravonettes. Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and Dee Dee's husband Brandon Welchez contributed to the album (on "Yours Alone" and "Blank Girl," respectively).
"He Gets Me High" EP preceded the group's sophomore full-length effort, "Only In Dreams," which dropped in September, '11. The album went to #1 on the College Radio Top 10 Albums chart.
