Dum Dum Girls - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

May 2024 and this band still sounds amazing. Such an underrated band and shame they're gone.

The best version of Coming Down is here in this session for sure.

I'm in love with her voice, and I love their songs...

Dum Dum Girls have recently become one of my fave bands. I love Dee Dee's singing. And she has a rare talent for song writing, imo, including a gift few have for writing & delivering compelling vocal melodies & harmonies consistently. Not easy to do. Dee Dee mentions here their producer, Richard Gottehrer. From a Dum Dum Girls article I learned a young Gottehrer co-wrote the song "My Boyfriend's Back," a 1963 hit for The Angels - which was the first pop single I ever bought, at age 7, way back in 1963 (well, I asked my Mom to buy it for me after hearing it on radio & seeing it in a local store). Odd how fifty+ years later, Gottehrer is STILL part of my musical life, currently producing one of my fave bands ever!

dj mic qualities are always sS0o goOd

The RU-vid algorithm did well, it brought me here and i `m so glad to know this band. Thanks.

Isn't it telling that KEXP has 100x better production on live performances than the Tonight Show? Even though Letterman definitely had many times the budget and equipment. Love you guys, you're the best of U.S. public radio!

I am so glad someone recommended this band to me.

My guess on the sunglasses is that yes , it is bright in there. Televised events or stage shows are always lit very well. The other possibility is that they are just nervous & use the sunglasses to deal with the stage fright. Just because someone can write & play amazing music doesn't make them an extrovert. I know many musicians that are just shy. It's that simple.

Saw you at Coachella! Almost a year ago now! Amazing Dum Dum girls!

Thanks to KEXP for posting - excellent performance.

God I luv KEXP, thank you guys. From the uk :)

Great set and great interview, Troy.

This has a Mazzy Star vibe to it and that's not a bad thing. Beautiful sound!

Wow...just....wow...what an amazing voice!

I can't get most of the tunes out of my head especially Bedroom Eyes and Ribauld Eyes. I get high listening to their pop music.

just AMAZING

Awesome performance!!! Theres a real cool Mazzy Star vibe, especially in Coming Down

loving the percussion

I love them!

beautiful voice !!!

Thanks!! This band Rocks! I appreciate. :)

tres bon groupe , un premier album tres entrainant ,i wait for more from them ,really good band ,

It's so sad that they have broken up

Awesome!

Cool undercurrent....with the smooth vocals and nice melodies..

Coming Down is a great song. Heard on the radio.

Me gustan más estas versiones en vivo que las versiones en los albums :D

Trouble is My Name got me

I absolutely love it. Thanks Kristin, err I mean Dee Dee. Much respect to you. Also, thanks KEXP.

Sounded great here, great camera work. Subscribed

Wow just found you guys / girls! Greatness! Thank you KEXP!

Please Come to Hawaii!!

Love the early Jesus and Mary chain style two drum set up! Suits the sound well

Nice !

Nice and mellow :)

love her dip dye hair

I kind of like them,today is the first I've heard of them.

My heart melts at 7:18

Oh my God, Malia...

Kri-oops, DeeDee is the textbook definition of Cool here.

Too True is a marvel for so many reasons. Kristin, Sune, and Richard made such a concise decisive sonic statement. I wish it could have been better realized by this lineup. I blame lack of drum machine, or at least a click, unsure/uncoordinated delivery of backing vocals, and failure to deep study guitar tracks. These points are more obvious in their full-kit live performances from this tour.

sounds like mazzy star meets the Sundays ..nice.

Right in the middle of Coming down, You Tube interrupts the song to show an ad, How sleazy is that?

coming down reminds me so much of mazzy star

Amazing performance. Would be great if there weren't ad breaks in the middle of songs though.

Brave e Belle...

heard a little mazzy star in there

5:40 what a smile!

Saw them as a four piece band (no Andrew). I remember a squeal at the beginning of the show, and thankfully Dee Dee started working with the equipment and got it fixed. Not just a pretty face!

Dum Dum Girls are making early 90s style music.

i wish i was that bike

yes its ok:)

Their name is misleading. The reason is because it's very intelligent in depth music. Kristen ypu and your band are in kontrol(yes the bad pun was intended).

look...........................................................................................................................................................................................................music

that Mustang. holy smokes.

Did these gals name their group after the song by Talk Talk?

I kinda feel the same vibe like warpaint with this interview

This is good. Very eighties British sounding. Nowt wrong with that.

Bad ass

Thanks to Beware the Batman... I found a great band!

why da people call dem da dum dum girls? i happen to think they is all very smart and talented to. it's not fair + i luff dem.

#BrodyshotMusic

what are the songs name?

Loved it. But their energy? It's like looking at a wall.

If Jules was my mom I'd still be in nappies

looks like a Ramone and is called DeeDee - nice xD

I tought that Dum Dum Girls was a band of girls, but I saw a guy in the band is someone leaving the band?

must be real bright in there huh

sorry but my child will sleep

mazzy star?

I prefer Grand Ole Party

gafas de sol hhahaha

So Joey didn't die? He just mellowed out, got shorter, quit the Ramones and joined this band? Wait...I didn't even realize her name was DeeDee when I posted. That makes it weirder.

I really liked 'Are you ok". But Coming down was to slow and depressing.

Pretty dum

Nothing personal, but "Coming Down" is a blatant copy of Mazzy Star's "Fade into You".

Muita pose, muita maquiagem ...muitos acessórios e pouco som.

Don't do drugs kids...

Coming Down & Bedroom Eyes would be a great combo for a stripper to dance to. Just sayin'

I don't like all the members. I perfer the old band.

Yikes. If you can't fix it just cover it in reverb!

poser.

Boring
