DUM DUM GIRLS have perfected their own "blissed-out buzz saw" sound. It's an intriguing meeting of influences - dreamy pop meets up tempo punk, straddling both The Ramones and The Ronettes. Formed by Dee Dee in late 2008 as a solo project - the name a nod to both The Vaselines' album, Dum-Dum, and the Iggy Pop song 'Dum Dum Boy' - Dee Dee released a home-recorded CD-R on her label Zoo Music, followed by a 7" on HoZac and a 12" EP on Captured Tracks. When Dee Dee needed a band to take her songs out of the bedroom, she looked to her friends, fate intervened and they became an instant girl gang. 'I Will Be' is the title of their debut album on Sub Pop, who also released a split 7" with them plus buddies Male Bonding recently too. After this trip to Europe DDG hit the road on home turf with Beach House and Vampire Weekend, where they'll be wowing the multitudes we're sure.

THE HUNDRED IN THE HANDS are a Brooklyn duo comprising of Eleanore Everdell and Jason Friedman who share a love for deceptively complex pop songs. Moving from early hip hop to post-punk, dreamy French pop to disco the pair were inspired to make music of their own. Swelling with summertime gothic their sound traces elements of cold wave fixation with a smoother taste for romantic, ethereal and gauzy atmospherics. On the heels of their widely acclaimed EP 'This Desert', The Hundred in the Hands will release their debut full-length this September on Warp Records.
