Dum Dum Girls made their network television debut last night, showing up on the “Jimmy Fallon Show” to play their song, Bedroom Eyes, off of their #1 College-Radio album, “Only in Dreams” on Sub Pop. Watch the performance below via the Audio Perv. The song truly takes flight at 2:21.  You might assert from this performance that they are merely the Goth Go-Gos.  But we hear more depth in the lyrics to go with the arresting audio amalgam of the Shangri-Las, Ramone(a)s, Cramps, and Mazzy Star.

About the song, Bedroom Eyes, Sub Pop tells that [lead singer] “Dee Dee wrote ‘Bedroom Eyes’ after returning from a European tour, jet-lagged and lonely. ‘I was home alone,’ she says. ‘Insomnia was taking its toll; I felt absolutely crazy. I looked up poetry on the subject and found a Dante Gabriel Rosetti poem and the song was born from that.’” A poetry reader? We’re in.
