Dum Dum Girls’ “I Will Be” Mastered at The Lodge

Dum Dum Girls, an all-girl pop band from Los Angeles, recently mastered their Sub Pop debut album,  I Will Be, at NYC’s The Lodge, with mastering engineer Joe LaPorta.

The band consists of front woman/founder Dee Dee, guitarist/vocalist Jules, bassist Bambi, and drummer/vocalist Frankie Rose (previously of Vivian Girls and Crystal Stilts).

Resonating with sounds of 1960’s girl pop and garage-rock guitar distortion, I Will Be was co-produced by Dee Dee and Richard Gottehrer, with mixing by Alonzo Vargas. The album features Yeah Yeah Yeah’s guitarist Nick Zinner on a song entitled “Yours Alone,” along with other musical guests throughout the album.

Gottehrer has co-written songs including “I Want Candy” and “My Boyfriend’s Back” and produced artists such as Blondie and The Go-Go’s. Additionally, he co-founded Sire Records, and marketing and distribution company The Orchard Music.

Gottehrer has formerly worked at The Lodge with Joe LaPorta and chief mastering engineer Emily Lazar, mastering records such as Dion‘s Son of Skip James and three of The Raveonettes‘ albums: Whip It On, Lust Lust Lust and In And Out of Control.

Dum Dum Girls’ U.S./Europe tour began at SXSW and will continue through May 2010.
