Little Dume at The Creek and the Cave
Growing up in the sun-soaked hills of Malibu, Little Dume isn't here to praise alternative indie rock music but rather redefine it. The four-piece American act is composed of brothers David and Dane and longtime friends James and Wesley, all of whom have been writing and performing together under various monikers since age 16. The band released "Dangerous Man," becoming an immediate viral sensation with its anthemic, dark and emotive sound gaining national acclaim. Likewise, Little Dume garnered instant praise in media describing them as a "sweet powerhouse" (Atwood Magazine) with an "emotional sharp sound" (Popdust) akin to if 'Imagine Dragons & Kings of Leon conceived a musical love child one drunken night while listening to Coldplay.' With a cinematic sound that has led to major placements in film & TV soundtracks worldwide- Little Dume's debut EP title track "Waking Up" was featured in Disney+, Stargirl, and single "Halo" in Freeform, Sirens in 2020. The band has earned a loyal following in the greater Los Angeles area selling out shows across the west coast, including: The Troubadour, The Peppermint Club, and The Malibu Inn, now showcasing their new album at SXSW 2022.
