This is Radis Noir – a new side project from Sunset Valley’s Herman Jolly and our own Peter Holmström. This is the first released track called MIRAGE. You can buy this digital single at AMAZON or iTunes. I suggest you do so!
We had such a great time last year that the folks at McMenamins brought us back again for one of our fancy pants dinner and show nights. Saturday, December 14th, at the Mission Theater in NW Portland it’s The Dandys Dinner and Show Show. This year we’ve got a five-course dinner created by Black Rabbit executive chef Kenny Giambalvo, with accompanying wines chosen by Mr. Courtney Taylor-Taylor. And then after the dinner, it’s a silent film presentation with live score by The Dandy Warhols. This event is strictly for ages twenty-one and over and your dressing your best would be greatly appreciated.
Then, Haaaappy Biiiirthday! Who’s ready for some spankings? Oh, we are. We’re turning the big two-oh in 2014 and we’re celebratin’ early with our annual holly-day shindig Sunday December 15th at the Crystal Ballroom – who just so happens to be celebrating, too – one hundred years! Yes, like the Cure song. Join us, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Modern Kin, and Bloco Alegria on the Crystal’s bouncy-bounce dance floor as we toast the holiday season with mirth and music. Then, after the show, join Zia (DJ Rescue) downstairs at Lola’s Room for a 21+ dance party that’s probably going to be pretty ridiculous. (all-ages/$20adv.)
Sad news this Sunday morning with the word of Lou Reed’s passing at age 71. To say that his impact on every person you or I know was deep is a gross understatement. Here’s lookin’ at you, Lou.
Hark! A video from Corona Capital last Saturday in Mexico City. Check out “Mohammed” and “Shakin” in HD, which is almost better than being there in person, I say.
Last spring The Dandy Warhols kicked off the celebration of the thirteenth anniversary of their watershed album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia by performing each of the album’s thirteen tracks in thirteen different locations around downtown Portland. These stripped down guerrilla street performances were filmed for posterity by Into The Woods and will premiere Sunday, October 27th at the Hollywood Theater in NE Portland.
The evening is set to begin with acoustic performances of Dandys tunes by friends of the band featuring:
Dave of Dave’s Killer Bread, Mike Allred of Madman Comics fame, Rick Bain of Rick Bain and the Genius Position, Nigel Ledgerwood of 1776 Jsun Adams of The Upsidedown, Megan Pickerel & Herman Jolly of Buzzyshyface, and Highway.
Followed by the video premiere
Finishing with a Q&A session with The Dandy Warhols.
Plus: do you have a favorite Dandys song? You could perform it on-stage at the event in front of Courtney and Zia and Peter and everyone. Record your cover ‘demo’ and post it on our Facebook timeline and tag it #TheDandyWarholsCoverOK. If it’s the best cover ever, we’ll put you on stage!
