What is the highlight of this e...Again a great job.<br />What is the highlight of this entry is the fact that you're as new to the band as ony of us, the readers. At least I am new to the Girls. Pics and vids give a good idea of how the show looked and sounded like, with a hint of imagination one can easily "get there".<br />Their music is really good. It sounds a lot like some crazy blend of Raveonettes and Ramones and that's good since both bands are *epic*. And the vocals are unique, that's true.<br />You mentioned their looks. That's very true. Not only the girls look great, fantastic, lustful etc., but as a guy I would like to point my finger at one important, sweet little thing. Sexy girl on the stage creates a certain kind of 'pressure' for all the other girls, the 'real life' girls, to look as great as she does (the same goes for guys on stage and guys in real life). I think our times lack some kind of pressure for perfection that was so much alive in the past and girls like that are "saviours" of a good taste and style of a true woman. They are living manuals for every single gal on the world- a "model examples" of how they all should look like. And I love them for that.<br />Enough philosophy.

Yeah, I didn't want ...Good analysis, Mr. Smork.<br />Yeah, I didn't want to go the lengthy "bio" route as you can always find that sort of thing at their offical pages. Since I am just discovering them myself, I wanted to get down my honest intial reactions to it.<br />I like that you refernece The Cranberries and Dolores O'Riordan. I didn't think of that but yes, I see what you mean. That's what I meant about the vocals being much sweeter than traditional "punk" music.<br />There is a lot going on with these Dum Dum Girls!DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-42345876890012901162010-04-08T07:43:04.106-07:002010-04-08T07:43:04.106-07:00*red head**red head*Mr Smorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114656304341401631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-50851423837536767302010-04-08T07:42:32.182-07:002010-04-08T07:42:32.182-07:00nice one, dave.
from your writing i get a feeling...nice one, dave. <br />from your writing i get a feeling, that you don't know them well enough, cause usually when you introduce us with a new band you usually give us a almost full bio of the band and some facts about the band. ;)<br />anyway i like to read your "first touch" with this band. one thing i missed - dave's picture with band members that like dave's signature.... :)<br />about the band: is it just me, cause the vocals reminds me of irish icon band "the cranberries" vocalist dolores o'riordan?<br />apart that this band sound fun. didn't found that dark as they look at all. maybe some lyrics is a bit .... not matching the sound, but i quiet like this band. and read head as well. ;)Mr Smorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114656304341401631noreply@blogger.com
