Ireland Gives Warhols Third Gold Record
Like famed producer Bruce Dickenson, The Dandy Warhols put their pants on one leg at a time. Except once their pants are on, they make gold records.

The Warhols received word Friday that their album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia had reached Gold status in the UK. Released in June 2000, Thirteen Tales standing was undoubtedly aided by the band’s recent reintroduction to the British charts on the strength of the hit single “Bohemian Like You”. The band would like to thank its legions of loyal British followers, without whom this honor would have been impossible.
This is the band’s second Gold Record.

We received this little bit in the mail the other day:
“Hello Jennifer,
I got your name from our publicist that you manage the Dandy Warhols. I
work for David Bowie out of New York and he asked me to try and get a
message to the band about how pleased he was for them that they had such
a great breakthrough in the UK.
If you could pass this on, we’d really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Best,
Eileen”

The Dandy Warhols wish to extend their love to the family of George Harrison. The former Beatle great died Thursday after a long illness. His contribution to music and his dedication to world issues will always have a profound impact on our lives. George will definitely be missed.

The new Dandy Warhols studio is up and running, with tracks already being laid for the next Dandy Warhols’ album, tentatively due out this spring. Gothman has some special plans as well. Courtney finally gave in and is allowing a webcam to broadcast from the studio. What amazing things will you be able to see?! Stay tuned…

There is this sign on a door not too far from the Warhols’ studio that reads “Impress your friends–Learn Icelandic!”

Yeah.
“Bohemian Like You” Debuts At Number One In Portugal”
Let us add another feather into our stocking cap, as The Dandy Warhols monster mega-hit “Bohemian Like You” rolls it’s way through the European continent, taking pop radio prisoners wherever they wake up. To the list of Britain, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and Germany, we add Portugal to the list of conquered countries, with “Bohemian” debuting numere um in Portugal.
Warhols to Appear At Shortlist Awards
The band will be flying south later in the week to perform at the Shortlist of Music Awards and party which is scheduled for November 19th at the Knitting factory in LA. The Warhols are nominated in the category “Shortlist Prize for Artistic Achievement”. Fellow nominees include PJ Harvey, Gorillaz, and Air.
Warhols Number Two On UK Radio
So I just happened to be walking past Pete’s the other day, when lo and behold, he’s home from Britain. He tells me that as of last week, “Bohemian Like You” has sold 44,000 copies and was number two in Top 40 radio airplay in the UK. “WHAT?!” I scream. It seems the band is, umm, huge. Cool .
UPDATE: Okay, I was wrong on one count…the Warhols were number 5 last week, but as Jen, the band’s manager, reports:
The single remains in the top 10 this week.
The single has sold over 65,000 copies in only 2 weeks.
The album sold over 11,000 copies last week alone – sales are over 50,000
total since it’s original release [UK].
The video is in the top 5 rotation at MTV Europe
In Europe, the Hit 100 airplay chart went from 40 (week 44) to 28 today(week 45). Looks like we may be dropping into some European territories early next year.
Warhols Appear On BBC 1
The Dandy Warhols stopped by BBC Radio One for a little get together with Jo Wiley. The band talked about the sudden success of “Bohemian” and the future of the band. Oh. And they played some tunes.

The Dandy Warhols departed from cold, rainy Portland to make way for cold, rainy London October 31 for a series of British television appearances in support of the (belated) hit single “Bohemian Like You”. The band will perform Saturday, Nov. 3 (Peter’s Birthday!) on CD-UK, and make a return to Top Of The Pops Thursday Nov. 8.

I can remember way ‘back in the day’ when the Warhols were first gigging around Portland, a lot of the local bands HATED them because the Warhols were rock stars before they ever set boot on stage. They acted totally against the stodgy psuedo-indie ethic that so many of the bands in this city still clung to like it was their mother’s breast. They hated the Warhols ’cause they were MADE to sell out, and continue to make no apologies for sticking with this game plan. Courtney speaks to UK magazine NME about the latest endeavour with UK’s Vodaphone.
