A Review I Liked

Written by Brent DeBoer on . Posted in Brent, News, The Dandy Warhols.

I LOVE this review!!!

The Dandy Warhols – “The Best of the Capitol Years (1995-2007)” (Capitol) (rating 7 out of 10)

The Portland quartet known as The Dandy Warhols were born kicking and screaming in 1993, making music to, ahem, “drink to,” an alternative soundtrack for slackers, stoners, and midnight tokers which celebrated the permanent vacations of the elegantly wasted. Think Keith Richards with New Wave hair. Lead Dandy Courtney Taylor-Taylor had clearly been educated at the School of Rock. His motley crew of carefully recruited outsiders looked chic (fringes, cheekbones, hips), borrowed from the best (Stones, Velvets, Bowie, Dylan), and actively encouraged chaos, disorder, and public nudity at gigs. The doors of perception were wedged permanently open. Just like the truly great, they had their own proper film celebrating their rise (the unmissable “Dig!”) and, for bonus cool, their own imagined TV theme song. The Mount Rushmore of Rock surely had space for Taylor’s snarling mug.

“The Capitol Years” captures their time in the fast lane, livin’ la vida loca, lounging in limos popping pills and reading Sartre. Whereas their penniless urchin contemporaries coughed “sell out” from the dungeons of indie clubs, Taylor looked to the stars: number ones, billboards, mansions, monogrammed bathrobes, art dealing, golf. There are a good, half-dozen moments here when, dammit, it should have worked. It’s so close you can taste it in the grooves. The Dandys had a gift for fizzy four-minute space pop, from the mechanical bull rides of “Everyday Should Be a Holiday,” “Boys Better,” and “Bohemian Like You,” to the dreamy, twinkling Bowie-esque “Last High” and perky newbie “This Is the Tide” – all white-hot, genius pop with skyscraper melodies. Even the tracks time forgot such as “The Scientist” and “Plan A” now seem expertly fashioned, fixing the foundations for funky futurists like Hot Chip and MGMT. It was exhilarating, joyous pop that deserved to be beamed from radios, clubs, TVs, and enormodomes alike, not chained and weeping in some grimy basement bar to an audience of three devotees and a dog called Bobby. – Matt James

Response To ‘This Is The Tide’ Rolling In

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

Hey, lots of people are seriously digging the brand new track from The Capitol Years, “This is the Tide.” Really guys, we have received a tremendous response on the interwebs so far, it’s blowing us away. Thanks for those who bought it, and thanks for letting us know what you think.  I haven’t talked to Fathead today, but I’m sure he’s a proud papa.

(Yeah, that’s Fatty singing lead on that track. He wrote this tune with Zia. Break that out on Taco Tuesday trivia night.)

If you have a friend you think would dig on it, don’t be selfish, brother – share the song with them in this little player here.

Graçias.

Interview: “Fine and Dandy”

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

From an interview CTT submitted to the Daily Telegraph in Sydney:

1. DOWN UNDER DRUMMER
Dandy Warhols drummer Brent DeBoer has just moved to Melbourne, from where his wife hails.  He got married out in the billabongs,” frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor says. We love Australia.  We’re a guitar band, it’s a guitar country.  Australia didn’t derail on the girl band/boy band/rap-rock nightmare of the late ’90s.”
2. INDIE MOOD
The next Dandy Warhols album won’t be on their own label again. “We’re terrible at business,” Taylor-Taylor admits. “Terrible. We don’t know what we’re doing. It’s like trying to have children run a household. We need to hook up with some indie label. The new stuff is sounding good. It’s a little less dirty so far.”
3. SINGLE MINDED
Their old label has released a new compilation Best of the Capitol Years 1995-2007 – with Dandy hits Bohemian Like You, We Used to Be Friends and Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth. “It’s funny to have all the big hits, the marginal hits and the cult hits all together on one album. It makes good sense.”
4. A WALK IN THE PARK
They’ll play the hits during their Parklife festival set. “We love playing dance festivals. We’re basically a trance band who use Simon and Garfunkel’s instruments and harmonies.”

Things To Do In Portland, July 2 2010 Edition

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

This message is for peoples in Portland only.  If you don’t live in Portland, then go look at this.

So it’s just us guys here, right?  Seems that tonight, on that most infamous block of SW3rd between Burnside and Ankney, we have a couple of things going on you should be made aware of.

Uno:  At Dante’s (1 SW 3rd/$10/21+) tonight, Courtney and Zia will be taking part in Walt Curtis Birthday Party benefit.  Who is Walt Curtis? Walt is is renown poet, author and artist, who most famously wrote a book you may have heard of called Mala Noche, which was, in turn, adapted into a motion picture by our friend, filmmaker Gus Van Sant.  Well, a couple months ago, Walt lost everything he owned – all his books, all his art, everything – in a fire.  Events taking place in Portland this week were set up to help Walt get back on his feet.  Tonight is night two of the benefit, Walt’s Birthday Party at Dante’s, where will will find acts including Zia performing an acoustic set with her side project Brush Prairie, and Courtney will be reading his favorite Walt Curtis poem.  This event is scheduled to run from 8pm-1am.

Dos:  Literally across the street at Berbati’s Pan (231 SW Ankeny/$8/All Ages), Pete International Airport will be making its official debut, playing with the bands The Pharmacy, Cheap Flight, and The Shivas.  Plucky says PIA will be going on at eleven.

(I guess ‘they’ will let you walk back and forth all night, right?  They used to let you, right. Or am I imagining things?)

Another thing:  if you’re in the Pearl late this afternoon, stop by Jinx (232 NW 12) for happy hour.  Zia will be spinning.

Aaaaaand:  If you wanna go to Rontoms (600 E Burnside) on July 4th for 1776, Logan Lynn, and The Hugs, you will be rewarded with a real great time.

Try not to blow your hands off over the weekend.
