Dates Added: 30th Anniversary Shows in December

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in News, Shows, The Dandy Warhols.

Hello music lovers, Zia here personally inviting you to celebrate our 30 Year Anniversary as The Dandy fucking Warhols. We’ve spent most of 2024 focused on supporting our 12th studio album and most recent release, ROCKMAKER. But this December it’s time to party our way up the Best Coast before the year is through. Starting with an intimate three nights (Dec 2-4) at The Moroccan in LA, and two nights (Dec 6 & 7) in SF at the world famous Bimbo’s 365. The Dandys crescendo this over the top week, landing in Portland with multiple events, from co-hosting a night featuring artists off the vinyl label Little Cloud Records (Dec 11) to a fan brunch in Tacoma.

Little Cloud has been diligently releasing unique re-pressings of The Dandys’ back catalogue and tons of other cool bands, including Sun Atoms featuring our own Peter Holmström. The very next night (Dec 12) we headline a show at Crystal Ballroom with an after-party downstairs in Lola’s Room hosted by yours truly (free entry with concert ticket). We take it down a notch on Friday Dec 13th (or do we??) with a semi-private event at The Odditorium which is where the band records, rehearses and occasionally joins the public for a glass of wine in The Old Portland, Courtneys in-house wine bar. There’s been rumors of gift exchanges and karaoke of Dandys songs for charity but nothing set in stone as of yet. Here’s where it gets crazy!  A bunch of us, by us, we mean, the band, friends, fans, crew etc. are taking the Amtrak up to Tacoma for a gig Saturday (Dec 14) at the Spanish Ballroom. Check it out, the more of us that buy train tix the easier it will be to take over a car, or few. And hey, since we’re already up there, we might as well stick around for some Bloody Mary’s, etc. on Sunday (Dec 15) before we all go our separate ways. Wow guys, what a thrilling plan and ambitious way to celebrate 30 years of being Dandys. Please join us in this ultimately, “massive concussion of Rock & Roll.”
 
Limited VIP tickets available for travel packages that include discounted hotel rates and a “welcome gift-basket of goodies” (I am very excited about these locally sourced goodies!) for Portland and Tacoma shows.

Tickets go on sale Friday 8/23 at 10am! See you there, rockers!

Ethos Music Center

ETHOS

‘Tis the season for giving. Every year we donate $1 from the sale of each ticket of our holiday show to a different deserving recipient. This year we’ve selected Ethos Music Center. Ethos is dedicated to the promotion of music and music-based education for youth in underserved communities. In a time when music/arts programs are mostly a memory in public schools, organizations like this are crucial to exposing and educating America’s youth.
We’re also honored to have Etho’s band, Death By Thumb perform at this year’s concert at Crystal Ballroom. Sat, Dec 20th.
If you’d like to donate further to Ethos please visit their website or booth at the event.

Happy Holidays!

Your Support Is Needed To Make History

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in News, Zia.

Let’s make history together!

Frustratingly, measures to require GMO labeling narrowly failed in California and Washington. If Oregon fails we may never build up enough steam to get GMOs labeled in the United States, like 64 other countries already require.

This isn’t just an issue for Oregon, national support is needed! We’ve made doing your part simple. Just download our version of OHIO and $0.92 will go to the Yes On Measure 92 Campaign (you can also donate more with all extra going directly to the campaign). Make Oregon the first state to require GMO labeling and give other states a chance to follow suit.

Courtney & I will be performing this song at a local benefit this Sunday, October 12th. If the footage turns out we’ll share it with you as part of our victory celebration on Nov 4th!

In solidarity and thanks in advance,

Download “Ohio” To Benefit Yes on Measure 92 Campaign

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols, Zia.

PORTLAND-SING-OUT-FINAL-A-EDIT

You are one click away from making a difference. We are offering a download of The Dandys’ cover of ‘OHIO’ for $1.92 — $0.92 of which goes straight to funding Yes on Measure 92 via the Oregon Right To Know campaign. How cute.

This all ties into an upcoming benefit I’m co-organizing called Portland Sings Out! at Star Theater in NW Portland Sunday, October 12th, where Courtney will be performing an acoustic rendition of OHIO. Ah, it all makes sense now!

Now we have three easy ways to be a part of positive change right this minute:

☛ 1. Download ‘OHIO‘ HERE.
☛ 2. Purchase tickets to the event Portland Sings Out! HERE.
☛ 3. Learn more about Oregon Right To Know and make donations HERE.
 

It feels good to make a difference! Thanks for your support and I’ll see you at the Star Theater October 12th.

With appreciation and gratitude,

Portland Speaks Out! To Benefit Yes On Measure 92 Campaign

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols, Zia.

PORTLAND-SING-OUT-FINAL-A-EDIT

Dandy friends and fans it’s time again to rally!

No, no, Portland’s water is still safe from fluoridation, thank goodness. This time the problem is with GMOs. The issue isn’t whether or not GMOs are good or bad, it’s about labeling. We consumers deserve the right to know exactly what goes in our food. This is a grassroots campaign going up against some of the biggest food and chemical corporations in America. (You know, those bullies with the nearly unlimited funds and power.) By voting YES on Measure 92, you can make sure that food sold in the state of Oregon is required to list all GMO ingredients on its packaging. Sixty-four other countries have already provided this for their citizens. Let’s help Oregon become the first state in the USA to make GMO labeling mandatory. Together we can help lead the rest of America in the effort to make corporations honest about what they put in our food.

This all ties into an upcoming benefit I’m co-organizing called Portland Sings Out! at Star Theater on October 12th where Courtney Taylor-Taylor will be performing an acoustic rendition of CSNY’s “OHIO”.

Here are two easy ways to be a part of positive change right this minute:

Purchase tickets to the event Portland Sings Out! HERE.

(And here is the event’s official press release.)

Thanks for your support and I’ll see you at the Star Theater October 12th.

WNBR: Too Hot For Facebook

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in Zia.

I was finally in town for the Portland branch of the World Naked Bike Ride!
I snapped a few pics which promptly got me put in time out by Facebook. Soon after, a fan pointed out that I do have a web site after all and with my rebellious nature and zeal for freedom to express I can’t help but to repost them here. Enjoy!

2014: Out With The Old…

I love my life. Out with the old, in with the new. It’s all good. This too shall pass. Better to regret things you’ve done than things you haven’t. And you can do anything you want until someone tells you not too. Yep, all of that. Oh and, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure and now is all we have.

Happy New Year! Serene 2014.
