"The first record was basically the first songs I'd ever written," says [lead singer] Dee Dee, "and I was thinking nostalgically about being a teenager.  This record, it was pretty much impossible not to write about very recent, very real things."

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. I'd finally convinced my dad to give me one of his prescription sleeping pills and it kicked in while I was writing the song and I started hallucinating."

Dum Dum Girls playing in Detroit twice in one year. How great is that?
