Hey. Our show on 6 Nov in Melbourne has been sold the hell out, so we have added a second show on the 7th. Although Sydney on Halloween is sold out, scheduling has hindered us from adding another date there. But we will be playing Southern Amp 2008 in Christchurch, New Zealand on November 9th. You should try to make that.
More TOUR news forthcoming…
Hey youse in the Bay Area, our show on October 4th in S.F. at the Warfield was to be with the Charlatans, right? Unfortunately, the Charlatans have had to bow out. But taking their place is a couple of cool cats from Portland you may have heard of: Helio Sequence. Along with The Upsidedown, October 4 is going to be a pretty fun time. Buy some tickets, you!
Hey man. We’ll be appearing down the street at the local variety show LIVEWIRE this Saturday. Other cool cats like Bill Bradbury, our Secretary of State, singer Reggie Watts, the Portland Cello Project, and Blazer Channing Frye will also be in the show. Come by if you can.

Our dear friends at SPIN have written some nice words about us over at their site. Please take some time to go read what they had to say.
If you find yourself in Los Angeles tonight, Zia will be DJing at Spaceland with bands Magic Mirror, Lower Heaven, Line and Circle, with our old friend Miranda Lee Richards. Doors at nine, twenty-one and over only, please.
And new record is out. Get …Earth To The Dandy Warhols… now at iTunes with a couple of bonus tracks and digi-booklet.
Nice One.
Zia McCabe hates to stop spinning the records. She detests it! She’s at Spaceland in L-A on Thursday. We told you that already. After that, McCabe is back in dreary Portland on Saturday for Action Sport Tour Portland Afterparty, turning that frown upsidedown with DJ Dave Allen from Gang of Four and others.
Come on, give a damn.

Well la-di-da, …Earth To The Dandy Warhols… on the iTunes. People ask — they demand to know — does the album title necessitate the ellipses? We say yes. You need the ellipses for to cushion you from a concussion of rock and roll. You wouldn’t sleep on gravel, would you? No, you would take your sweater off and lay that on the ground first.
Oh yes. Two bonus tracks are included with the iTunes purchass of …Earth To The Dandy Warhols…. A cover of “Sister Golden Hair”, and a version of “Welcome to the Third World” en francais. You also get a “digital booklet” for the record, which saves everyone on costly silver ink.
If you didn’t, do it.
The video for “Last of the Outlaw Truckers” is up exclusively on MySpace. Check that out HERE.
Also, our record is out tomorrow. I know, already?

There was blood everywhere. Smeared across my cheeks, it made me looked painted as some Bowery whore turn century, the last. You know, when ‘Bowery’ was a word not spent in mixed company. My hand, it turned out, wasn’t much of a bandage, at least not as much as I had been led to believe form old World War II movies. I’m not sure if it can be considered a gush; the tide wouldn’t take anyone along with its current. But, yeah, it was pretty bad. I only had four hours, I estimated. I mean, I was no doctor, but it couldn’t be too much longer.
Which kind of made it all the more surprising that, what with my fuente de la sangre, I chose to spend my last remaining minutes with my dying flesh on this planet Earth at Spaceland. Yes, instead of seeking the assistance of a hospital. Zia McCabe was DJing, and from what I heard, she had the healing power of DUB. Zia did get grossed out when I hugged her. I mean, who wouldn’t? My guts had just been eaten out by a dog while trying to steal a car. That’s my life!
