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.

If you’re going to be out shopping anywhere in Europe May the 5th, you may want to swing by your local recorditorium to purchase the new single from The Dandy Warhols called ‘We Used To Be Friends’. And if you have money to burn, buy the seven inch vinyl and DVD singles as well. Then, treat yourself to lunch, because shopping is hard work.

We were poking around in the basement recently and found this cryptic list of thirteen ancient pirate sea shanties. How it got there is anyone’s guess, as Oregon has never really seen it’s fair share of pirates. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these strange little ditties shared the exact same titles as our next record, “Welcome To The Monkey House”. Sweet Jesus!

Welcome to the Monkey House
We Used To Be Friends
Plan A
Wonderful You
Scientist
Over It
The Dandy Warhols Love Almost Everyone
Insincere
You Were The Last High
Heavenly
I Am Sound
Hit Rock Bottom
You Come In Burned

Man, those pirates were smart

We’re Covered

We’re on the cover of the brand new Filter Magazine (issue #4). Look for Sean Gothman’s scarf.

It looks like it’s time to pack up the bus and play some gigs. The first shows of our long touring season have been plotted and are ready for your calendar. Check out the SHOWS page to see what’s up.

You have been sitting there staring at blank pages of your diary for a long while now, haven’t you? Nothing has come to pass as it should have. You made plans, but others weren’t tuned into that. So instead of the hassle of assimilating into the culture around you, you have dropped out. The lack of human contact coupled with your relation to this blasted machine has changed you, and you know, you try to say that it’s for the better. You don’t need them. You can live on science alone.

Oh, yeah. Our fourth record, “Welcome To The Monkey House”, will be out internationally in May, in the United States in July.

More details forthcoming…

Hey, everyone. The latest issue of SPIN Magazine has a Capitol Records CD insert featuring an alternate mix of “The Last High”, which will most likely be the second single off of the next Dandy Warhols’ record. Take a listen and tell us what you think.

The Dandy Warhols wish to extend their deepest love to the family of Joe Strummer. Strummer, best known as vocalist and guitarist for the seminal British punk band The Clash.  He passed away Sunday in his home at  the age of fifty. The Warhols will forever cherish the time, albeit briefly, they have spent with Joe, and definitely consider the thoughts and ideas exchanged with him to be a highlight in their lives. Joe Strummer will be deeply missed.

Faithful fans have little to fear; Dandy Warhols soon will be here with mixing nearly over, be done by mid October a New Record’s out early next year.

Peter and longtime fiance Michele were married August 3rd at the Holmstrom family home in Portland. The service, witnessed by family, close friends and all the natural forest surroundings, was officiated by Reverend Courtney Taylor.

The Dandy Warhols passed yet another milestone Tuesday (07/02/02) as the band honored with their first ever platinum record. The award, for the 2000 release “Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia”, is for sales in the Republic of Ireland. The Warhols reached ‘gold’ status in Ireland in January, 2002, as well as gold in the United Kingdom in December, 2001, and Australia in April, 2001. The Dandy Warhols will be appearing in Ireland at the annual Witnness Festival July 14.
