NEWS: Dum Dum Girls Announce Auckland Show In January

40 Days Touring are proud to announce that Californian quartet Dum Dum Girls will play their first-ever New Zealand show at Auckland’s Kings Arms Tavern on January 6^th 2012.

Residing on the pop culture continuum somewhere close to where the Ronettes meet the Ramones, the Dum Dum Girls are two albums, an EP, a cassette and a handful of seven-inches into a career that has brought both critical acclaim and the adulation of an army of admirers.

Initially the solo project of songwriter/singer/guitarist Dee Dee (and named after an Iggy tune with the gender switched), the Dum Dum Girls went from scratchy Super-8 to widescreen Technicolor, and became a full band to celebrate the first Sub Pop-released album, I Will Be.

Dum Dum Girls will play the iconic Kings Arms in support of their breathtaking new album Only In Dreams, produced by the legendary Richard Gottehrer (Sire Records co-founder/Blondie first LP producer/writer of ‘I Want Candy’); and co-produced by his spiritual heir Sune Rose Wagner (of Danish duo The Raveonettes).

Having played to sell-out crowds across the USA, this show is a must-see for fans of timeless pop, punk attitude and the girl-group vibe.
