He still wanted to be involved in some capacity and he helped on a song. "Nick was potentially going to mix the record but that didn't work out because of timing issues. Nick Zinner of super-cool NYC band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs helped out on the track Yours Alone.
I will be working with him on the next record." "He has written a handful of my all-time favourite songs and was a lot of fun.
"It is still a pretty shocking thing for me to wrap my head around," Dee Dee says of working with Gottehrer. Sonically, I think we take from that period as well."ĭee Dee wrote the entirety of the band's debut album, I Will Be, which was produced by Richard Gottehrer, who co-wrote 60s hits such as My Boyfriend's Back and I Want Candy. I am also a big fan of the sounds that came out of electric bands from the 80s like the Cure and Jesus and Mary Chain. "I draw a lot of the vocal melody inspiration from that period when it comes to the Dum Dum Girls. "The first music I fell in love with as a pre-teen was my parents' music collection, which was very 1950s and 60s and vocal-oriented groups with lots of harmonies," she says. Inspired by the Vaselines' Dum Dum album and Iggy Pop's song Dum Dum Boys, Dee Dee had her formula down pat for the beginnings of a post-punk girl outfit with a penchant for 60s garage rock.
Dee Dee recruited Jules (a San Diego-based furniture designer), Bambi (a not-for-profit worker in Austin, Texas) and Brooklyn-based Frankie Rose (a former member of the Vivian Girls) to solidify her line-up.
