Our show with Roxy Music on July 18th has been canceled. The next scheduled gig in Britain will be as guests of David Bowie this November.

We shot the video for our next single, ‘You Were The Last High’, yesterday. Though we wish not to spoil the surprise of the video’s concept, we’re pretty sure you must have seen something like this classic struggle ‘between’ ‘love’ and ‘war’ somewhere before.

If you’re Neil Armstrong, Mr. Spock, or Nick Rhodes, yeah.

So, our old pal David Bowie comes to us and says, “Hey, I have this tour coming up this fall, I would love it if you guys would play with me.” To which we say, “Sure.” Mr. Bowie’s “A Reality Tour” kicks off on October 7th, and winds through The Continent before ending on November 26th.

If most words are to be believed, we will release our next single, “You Were The Last High”, on July 28th of this year. We think you will be hearing the tune on radio well before that date, but what do we know?

We regret to announce that the American release date our new record, Welcome To The Monkey House, has been pushed back once again. The record will now hit shelves in the US on August 19th. While we really cannot divulge the details behind this decision to push the record back, we can safely say that the release of another Frank Sinatra compilation has nothing to do with it.

In case you were hip-a-mo-tized by our new yellow surrounding and completely blanked it (it’s okay, it happens to the best of us), we have a brand new record we like to call Welcome To The Monkey House. You may want to look into this if you, say, worship The Dandy Warhols and the ground they walk on. But what is this, you say? You live in North America and cannot find this record anywhere? Crying shame! Who is responsible for this outrage? Well, because of “peripheral” elements throwing their weight around, the North American release of Monkey House was moved back to August 5th. I know, I know. Hold my hand, everything will be alright.

Hey ho. We’re going to be on French radio Franceinter on May 27th at 9pm (GMT +1). What, you say? Your radio has become infested with a nest of spiders and you fear turning it on will kill them? Don’t worry about it, baby. The broadcast will also be online. Just travel to RadioFrance and click on ‘Ecouter en direct” and your spiders are safe…for now..

If you’re up for watching some TV, we’re going to be on the Jonathan Ross Show on May 8th and Later with Jools Holland on May 20th. Check it out, if you get a chance.

UPDATE: Yeah, check out MTV Europe this Friday, the 9th, at 5pm. We’ll be on The Fridge.

Stay Locked Up At Home

BBC Radio 1 will broadcast an hour of our Bristol gig on the 19th. If you can’t make it to Bristol, get wasted at home and listen with Steve Lemacq instead. On the downside, you’re not going to meet anyone to sleep with at home. Hey, it’s up to you.

Check out the May issues of X-Ray and Bang for some really funny Dandy Warhols interviews. If only Gore Vidal were this affable…

We have added some additional dates to our original European itinerary. You may want to check out the SHOWS page to see if we’re stopping by your city.

Chosen Ones

NME has selected ‘We Used To Be Friends’ as thier single of the week (April 28-to whenever the week has expired). Nice one.

Delayed Pleasures

Capitol Records has decided to delay the North American release of Welcome To The Monkey House another two weeks, from July 22 to August 5. The international release of the record is unaffected by this shift.

Enregistrement du Mois

Our friends at Rock & Folk have selected Welcome To The Monkey House as their album of the month for May. Merci, amis.
