Contest Winner Announced

The winner of the two tickets to see the Warhols at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland was Peter Walters of Pendleton, OR. Not only did Peter’s photo contain a visual bribe in photos of sexy male models (presumably to sway judges Gothman and Zia), his was the only submission that didn’t contain overt references to rampant drug use. (“We don’t want to reward anyone for that,” Zia laughed.)

Warhols Play Secret Hometown Gig

Billed under their classic pseudonym “Fags Like Us”, The Dandy Warhols played a “secret” set in Portland on Wednesday (06/12/02). Opening for friends Television Eye (featuring Spike Keating, ex of Swoon 23 and Magic Fingers), the band performed a limited set to a small crowd of “the usual Portland scenesters”.

“Come see us tomorrow night, “ Courtney advised the crowd, referring to the upcoming show on Thursday at the Crystal Ballroom. “We’ll play every song we know.”
