Rockwave Festival Canceled
This, again, from the band’s manager, Jen:
Sean, There was a change to one of the tour dates. The Rockwave Festival
in Greece wasn’t granted their license, so it was cancelled. And then it
was reinvented as just this big gig in Athens on July 3rd (instead of
2nd). So, now we’re playing with The Cure on the 3rd. Everything else is
still the same. We got to hang out with Robert Smith on Saturday night
at Meltdown…pretty cool. He was a definite highlight, as was playing
with Nina Hagen at the Steelworx Fest. in Luxembourg. Thanks, Jen
Tour Log: First Two Weeks
This comes from The Warhols manager, Jen:
Hey there. How are things with you? We are having an amazing tour. Blew
everyone away at the Meltdown Festival in London Saturday night! The
band did a special 1 hr. set: Be In Mohammad Rave Up Beautiful and
powerful. They played an encore with David Bowie, “White Light/White
Heat,” to a huge crowd. One of those moments no one could forget. Brent
was on congas, Zia on tambourine, Courtney and Pete on guitar. I still
have chills! Coates is working on his journal (Coates Notes?) and taking
tons of photos. Hopefully he’ll find a computer so he can email you
soon…. Thanks, Jen
Warhols, Bowie Cover Velvets at Meltdown
The annual Meltdown Festival, organized this year by none other than The
Dandy Warhols ‘biggest fan’, David Bowie, was, by all accounts, a
smashing success. The culmination of the show was a set by our very own
Warhols, featuring an encore with The Thin White Duke himself. In front
of a crowd which featured the likes of The Cure, Bono, and Brian Eno,
Bowie and The Warhols stunned the crowd with a ‘surprise’ rendition of
the Velvet Underground classic “White Light/White Heat”.
