Dum Dum Girls
Welcome to the unofficial, fan-created website of Dum Dum Girls, the indie pop sensation that has captivated hearts and ears around the globe with its unique blend of nostalgic melodies and modern sensibilities. Founded in 2008 by singer-songwriter Dee Dee Penny, Dum Dum Girls emerged from the Los Angeles music scene with a sound that echoes the reverberated harmonies of 60s girl groups, the dark allure of post-punk, and the vibrant energy of garage rock.
Our Story
Dum Dum Girls started as the solo project of Dee Dee Penny, born from a passion for music that transcends time and genre. The name, inspired by The Vaselines’ album “Dum-Dum” and the Iggy Pop song “Dum Dum Boys,” reflects the band’s reverence for musical influences while charting its distinct course. With the release of their debut album “I Will Be” in 2010 under Sub Pop Records, Dum Dum Girls quickly set themselves apart, offering a fresh take on vintage sounds.
