In case you were hip-a-mo-tized by our new yellow surrounding and completely blanked it (it’s okay, it happens to the best of us), we have a brand new record we like to call Welcome To The Monkey House. You may want to look into this if you, say, worship The Dandy Warhols and the ground they walk on. But what is this, you say? You live in North America and cannot find this record anywhere? Crying shame! Who is responsible for this outrage? Well, because of “peripheral” elements throwing their weight around, the North American release of Monkey House was moved back to August 5th. I know, I know. Hold my hand, everything will be alright.

Hey ho. We’re going to be on French radio Franceinter on May 27th at 9pm (GMT +1). What, you say? Your radio has become infested with a nest of spiders and you fear turning it on will kill them? Don’t worry about it, baby. The broadcast will also be online. Just travel to RadioFrance and click on ‘Ecouter en direct” and your spiders are safe…for now..

If you’re up for watching some TV, we’re going to be on the Jonathan Ross Show on May 8th and Later with Jools Holland on May 20th. Check it out, if you get a chance.

UPDATE: Yeah, check out MTV Europe this Friday, the 9th, at 5pm. We’ll be on The Fridge.

Stay Locked Up At Home

BBC Radio 1 will broadcast an hour of our Bristol gig on the 19th. If you can’t make it to Bristol, get wasted at home and listen with Steve Lemacq instead. On the downside, you’re not going to meet anyone to sleep with at home. Hey, it’s up to you.

Check out the May issues of X-Ray and Bang for some really funny Dandy Warhols interviews. If only Gore Vidal were this affable…

We have added some additional dates to our original European itinerary. You may want to check out the SHOWS page to see if we’re stopping by your city.

Chosen Ones

NME has selected ‘We Used To Be Friends’ as thier single of the week (April 28-to whenever the week has expired). Nice one.

Delayed Pleasures

Capitol Records has decided to delay the North American release of Welcome To The Monkey House another two weeks, from July 22 to August 5. The international release of the record is unaffected by this shift.

Enregistrement du Mois

Our friends at Rock & Folk have selected Welcome To The Monkey House as their album of the month for May. Merci, amis.

If you’re going to be out shopping anywhere in Europe May the 5th, you may want to swing by your local recorditorium to purchase the new single from The Dandy Warhols called ‘We Used To Be Friends’. And if you have money to burn, buy the seven inch vinyl and DVD singles as well. Then, treat yourself to lunch, because shopping is hard work.

We were poking around in the basement recently and found this cryptic list of thirteen ancient pirate sea shanties. How it got there is anyone’s guess, as Oregon has never really seen it’s fair share of pirates. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these strange little ditties shared the exact same titles as our next record, “Welcome To The Monkey House”. Sweet Jesus!

Welcome to the Monkey House
We Used To Be Friends
Plan A
Wonderful You
Scientist
Over It
The Dandy Warhols Love Almost Everyone
Insincere
You Were The Last High
Heavenly
I Am Sound
Hit Rock Bottom
You Come In Burned

Man, those pirates were smart

We’re Covered

We’re on the cover of the brand new Filter Magazine (issue #4). Look for Sean Gothman’s scarf.

It looks like it’s time to pack up the bus and play some gigs. The first shows of our long touring season have been plotted and are ready for your calendar. Check out the SHOWS page to see what’s up.

You have been sitting there staring at blank pages of your diary for a long while now, haven’t you? Nothing has come to pass as it should have. You made plans, but others weren’t tuned into that. So instead of the hassle of assimilating into the culture around you, you have dropped out. The lack of human contact coupled with your relation to this blasted machine has changed you, and you know, you try to say that it’s for the better. You don’t need them. You can live on science alone.

Oh, yeah. Our fourth record, “Welcome To The Monkey House”, will be out internationally in May, in the United States in July.

More details forthcoming…

Hey, everyone. The latest issue of SPIN Magazine has a Capitol Records CD insert featuring an alternate mix of “The Last High”, which will most likely be the second single off of the next Dandy Warhols’ record. Take a listen and tell us what you think.
