We are having some pretty big (and dumb, if you ask me) problems with our here website. Vow: we are working on eliminating those problems. Believe you me, just that you can read this is a huge step forward in our progress. Hey, I push pixels around, I’m no SQL/Wordpress genius. What do you want from me??
UPDATE 03/11/11: We are still having a small issue with our online store. We have closed it to take care of it. We should have it back to operational in a day or two.
Hi. My name is Brent. I play the drums for The Dandy Warhols.
I found this video on the world wide web and thought I would share it with the good folks who visit our website. Someone somewhere took our video for “This is the Tide” and replaced the music with “Hard on for Jesus.” Now we have three videos for one song (“This is the Tide”) and two songs for one video (“Jesus” and “Tide”).
Wow! My head is spinning! The wonders of modern technology I’ll tell ya…..
Alright, enough fun and games, this album title biznass is muy serio. Forget all about Shitty Shitty Bang Bang. That was RJ’s dumb idea. I dont know how I fell for that one. Nor the other one which Sarah Jane had foisted upon me in a drunken fog. The real name is a western name, cuz this here is gonna be a spaghetti western record.
See, Spindrift and Gram Rabbit started it, Federale continued it , and someone just told me that Jack White and Danger Mouse are gonna make a spaghetti western record now too. So guess what…. Our whole theme is now guns in the deep Southwest! Lawless trigger-happy badboys of movie legend. It’s called Whirled Piece and it’s about how they could all spin those heavy old sixguns on their finger really well. Imagine all the practice, the alone time, the determination.
We will be playing an all-ages show on March 10th at University Chapel in SE Portland as a part of Google’s Hotpot concert series. The show is free, but you will need to get a wristband for entry. Follow @HotpotPDX on Twitter for details on where to get your wristband.
Alright, it’s not actually gonna be called Pastor of Muppets.
Its gonna be called Shitty Shitty Band Band. That whole Pastor thing was just so arrogant. So full of itself. I think SSBB is good cuz it’s humble, ya know? Like Beck. Remember when he was a loser baby so why don’t you kill him?
The Dandy Warhols are pretty stoked to tell you that come May we will be playing some shows in our second home, the magical land of Australia.

It’s back up the east coast to Sydney on Sunday, 29 May at the Enmore Theatre (All Ages with ID), before finishing up in Brisbane on Tuesday, 31 May at The Tivoli (18+).

Okay, me and Pete are finishing up our vocal and guitar basic tracks for the forthcoming Dandy Warhols album, tentatively titled The Pastor of Muppets. Zia and Fatty will likely be done by the end of the month, then the mixing nightmare followed by mastering. mixedmasteredmarch.
