She's covered in shit and high as a kite

You've gotta love all chick bands (see: The Dixie Chicks, Indigo Girls, and Le Tigre). However for some reason they are increasingly hard to find, Le Tigre being the only really relevant band on that list in terms of influential bands right now and even they are dwindling. I recently stumbled upon a great all-girl band and not only are they catchy, they have also come out with a new album which I will be downloading soon. The band is called the Dum Dum Girls, and acording to their bio, they were only started in 2008, so not only are they still gaining steam, they most likely, from the sound of the first few tracks, have a lot of promise in them.


The track, "Jail La La" is a little in the vein of surf-pop or bubble-pop if I'm using that correctly(?). The lyrics are pretty catchy (albeit you cannot sing along for the most part) but it is a head-banger of a track. The whole song is a little bit synthy with some techno roots as well. If you're like me though, and you looked up the lyrics they are just decent (by my standards at least) but lead singer Dee Dee wrote this gem which I thought was just brilliant: "someone tell my baby, or else he won't know I need saving [talking about the county jail]". Best used as a dance track I think that this song should have its rightful place on peoples Ipods and hopefully (soon I hope) this band will start to catch on as I think this album (of what I have heard so far) is great. Girl-bands rule!
