After putting an old picture of her mother on the front of Dum Dum Girls' 2010 debut album, I Will Be, the singer watched her mom wither away from a sudden and deadly bout of cancer last year. As does Dee Dee, who has weathered through her share of trauma over the last year and a half. "I thought the building was collapsing," she says. Minutes before, New York City was hit with a rare earthquake- 5.8 on the Richter scale- that shook the singer's narrow apartment hard enough to overturn her cat's water bowl and send her racing outside. "I think I'm dying, I love you." That's the panicked text message Dum Dum Girls leader Dee Dee just sent her husband, fellow indie rocker Brandon Welchez of Crocodiles, when I arrive at her building on Manhattan's decidedly un-hip Upper East Side.
