Seems your Dandy Warhols have had the same general website template for over five years. So I figured it’s probably time to change it up, since everyone just looks at the world wide web on telephones now in the future. While there is never a good time to initiate this kind of operation, the band is recording a record and nothing else is going on, so it is probably the only time to do it. “SO WHAT GOTHMAN?” So if you see the site lookin’ green around the gills, just know that I’m working on making it look better, and that my trial and error methods of interweb administration is probably the closest you will ever be to watching a great master like Picasso, Rembrandt, or Julian Schnabel work. Yes I totally threw out a Schnabel!
Good luck.

As 2014 bites it, we want to take a second here to give some heartfelt thanks.
Thanks to our home and road crew, who are all pros and the best in the business and without whom we literally couldn’t do what we do.
Thanks to our band and business management for keeping all the frequent flyer miles in order and making sure we have kombucha in the dressing room so we don’t cry.
Thanks to the venue crews, the people who make sure you have a fun, safe time seeing us live.
Thanks to all of the labels we work with for helping us sell records to a world that’s crammed with great records.
Thanks to all the chefs.
Thanks to all the drivers.
Thanks to all the weed dealers.
Thanks to our patient families.
And most of all thanks to you, our friends, without whom all this could not and would not happen. Bless you.
Now let’s go kick 2015 in the ass!
We have been and ever shall be The Dandy Warhols.

During the initial packaging construction of the latest Dandy Warhols album things were a bit crazy around the Odditorium. We had a big management shakeup and things were pretty confusing a real goddamn mess for a while. And the unthinkable happened: the identity of the photographer who took the cover photo the band selected was obscured. We messed up, and how. Credit for cover photo was given to our departed merch manager Sarah Buckley, when it wasn’t Sarah Buckley who took that photo at all. Turned out the photo, and the corresponding LP sleeve photo, was the work of Gabriel Alan Gallant. The Dandy Warhols would like to salute Gabriel and give him our unending gratitude.
I should add, personally, that was sick to hear of such an enormous editorial eff-up. Though we as an organization failed at every step of the way in properly identifying the photographer, as Dandys art director it’s ultimately my responsibility to get this stuff right on paper. I should have done better. I hope Gabriel will accept my sincerest apologies. Some may think it’s unnecessary, but we’re supposed to be pros, and this is was pretty amateurish mistake, no matter how many fires we were all trying to put out at the time.
So cheers to ya, Gabriel Alan Gallant. Thanks for your photo, and your generous heart.

Well we must say this is a surprise. Nice one.
