Press quotes:

"Bolstered by terrific harmonies (three of the four girls contribute vocals) and a crisper rhythm section ... No longer a lo-fi group, DDG are now a rock band, and an occasionally ferocious one at that" - Pitchfork (8.2)

"Bubblegum pop put through a shredder, the guitars blistered, vocals fuzzy and impassioned" - The Guardian (4/5)

"[Dum Dum Girls'] rollicking debut album is a balance-redressing, cliché-bucking tonic" - NME (8/10)

"A neat homage to '60s girl groups and C86 bands they inspired, spooked-out bubblegum delivered in singer Dee Dee's naive but infectious sing-song" - Uncut (4/5)

"All in all, Dum Dum Girls have come into their own with a rare debut effort on which everything comes together in a way where reach and grasp go hand-in-hand ... Dum Dum Girls' future is now" - PopMatters (8/10)

Tickets for the gig are now available in person at The Harley (no booking fee) or online via SeeTickets - http://www.seetickets.com/see/price.asp?code=498903.

Interest in this show has been very high indeed, so book yours soon to avoid disappointment.

So excited about this new venue - you should be too!

A little bit about said venue:

- It's a Working Men's Club.
- It can hold 400-500 people, easily.
- The stage is raised, and is wide (e.g. you'll get a good view from everywhere in the room).
- It's a long, rectangular room with a relatively low ceiling for a space of its size... acoustics should be incredible.

If you've been to The Brudenell Social Club, it's got that kind of vibe.

If you haven't, that means it'll pretty quickly become the best place to see a band in Sheffield. Do come to the gig on 25 September to have a look.

First support announced: Leeds' Spectrals (http://www.myspace.com/spectralspectral). Have a listen.

Also playing with Les Savy Fav, Clinic, Wavves and Blank Dogs soon...

Second support is Mairead (http://www.myspace.com/iamraid) - one of the best new local acts in recent times. Check her stuff out if you're unfamiliar, but it's very different live (those tracks are old recordings) so come down early to get the full effect.

Nine days to go. This new venue is so exciting, you really should come and check it out...

This is on Saturday, folks. Really, REALLY looking forward to this one.

A few days to go now!

Come and see Queens Social Club - you won't be disappointed.

Remember, buy your tickets in person from The Harley (Glossop Road) or The Wick At Both Ends (West Street) and avoid paying a booking fee. Advance purchases are cheaper than rocking up on the night too.

Folks, there's a limited £5 cheaplist. Be quick and post your names here: http://www.facebook.com/DrownedinEvents
