Dandy Warhols News

All The Money or La Dolce Vita Honey

As Dandy Warhols, we like to take a different approach to Christmas: a little more Old World and a lot more jaunty. Take Italy. Their holiday season is comparable in length to the common American holiday season, but with its baked eel and lumps of coal and mash-ups with what we think of as Halloween traditions – La Befana the Epiphany witch, children in costumes going from door to door for treats – it seems a hell of a lot more festive than a fat man whipping flying deer to bring you an iPhone, doesn’t it? We are on a mission to convince Christendom that Italy does it best. But these things take time; Rome wasn’t bilked in a day. Easing into the task we commence this year with our annual Christmas shows with the introduction of a sliver of sunny Italy to the Northwest’s dreary environs. Just a taste, a Fellini twist on the usual Dandys holiday performance, with shows on December 11th at Nuemos in Seattle and December 12th and 13th at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom.  Ticket link on Wednesday.

Dandys’ Love And Rockets Cover Out Now

I shouldn’t have to tell you that Love and Rockets is pretty much everyone’s favorite band around here.  The Dandys have a special relationship with David, Danny, and Kevin going back to ’96 when the Dandys toured with the goth/psychedelic rockers and have remained close.  So when they called up and asked if the Dandys wanted to contribute to a Love and Rockets tribute album the answer was a resounding “hell yeah.”

So this record is out now – New Tales To Tell – A Tribute to Love and Rockets – featuring the Dandys’ cover of  “Inside the Outside” along with a whole slew of super cool covers by a whole slew of super cool cats.  Look for it in stores now or download from the usual suspects like iTunes.

“Dreamt Of Yes” Video Is Trippy

Well, here we go.  Take a look at the awesome new video for “And Then I Dreamt of Yes”, directed by Mark Helfrich.

httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g26kxIuobk

Zia:  We as a band have a soft spot for old, vintagy, trippy stuff so Mark getting inspiration from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari fit perfectly with our aesthetic. We had no problem coming up with our individual ‘looks’ for this video and filming with water pouring over us and having our eyes closed through entire shots was an interesting challenge. Mark and his crew did a fantastic job and any input we had during the final editing was minimal. I’m so glad such a beautiful piece of film was made for my favorite song on the album.

A big thank you to IFC for hosting the video.

Blackbird

Hey.  Since the tragic news of Mr. Jackson’s passing yesterday, we here at The Odditorium have been besieged with requests of the status of  The Dandys’ cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbird”, as foretold, and some would say, fore-promised (that’s probably not a word), in the title track of our 2003 album Welcome To The Monkey House.  Please note that this was not an anticipated event and we had no cover of “Blackbird” all rearin’ to go.  I mean, how could we?  With both Courtney and Fathead currently out of town we cannot say when we will be able to get to this cover of “Blackbird”, but we will, as soon as we are all together and able, since we have come to find that it means so much to a lot of you.

We thank you for your continued love and patience. Much love back, on behalf of The Dandy Warhols and all of us here at the Odditorium in Portland.

We thought it would be fun to tour with our friends and label mates Spindrift, so we came up with this, what we are calling “THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA TOUR”. (See if you can figure out why.)  All shows are all ages, so you can throw that fake I.D.  in the trash. (No one believes it anyway.)

Dandys Pedalpalooza Bike Ride

I heard from Sarah’s friend Jo Ryan that there was a Dandy Warhols bike ride as one of the events for “Pedalpalooza“. It was listed in the paper saying it was going to a tour of the important locations in the history of the band around the city of Portland.  Zia and I went and there was a great turn out and we cruised around in a giant mob blasting the Dandys on a boom box that was attached to the tour guides bicycle. We went to the WTTMH studio, to Slabtown, the Rock Dorm, the Oddy, a bar called “Plan B” to watch some Dandy videos, (including ‘Plan A‘ – get it?) to the X-ray Cafe, and some locations around town where some of the Dandy music videos were shot. We finished up at pretty much my favorite bar in town, the Red Fox on Albina for beers. Zia and I tried out a ‘tall’ bike. Pretty scary ! An absolutely perfect night.
