The Dandy Warhols are excited to tell you all about our first-ever LIVE Dandys album: Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder. We realize that maybe a Dandys live album is long overdue, but we really wanted to get it right, you know? We wanted a live album with no overdubs or re-recording, so when we put that “LIVE” on the cover, we mean it.
Recorded in June 2013 at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder documents The Dandy Warhols’ 13/13/13 Tour – a year long celebration of the 13th anniversary of (arguably) our most popular record, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. We run through every track from Thirteen Tales in order: starting with the layers of e-bow, jangle, and trumpet on “Godless” all the way through to the sparse hop-a-long epic “The Gospel.”
Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder will be available March 25th, 2014 on CD, double-LP (with bonus tracks), and digital download from our partners at The End Records (US) & on Naive Records (GSA & France).
You can pre-order Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder – with special bundles including color vinyl and t-shirt options right now HERE.
UPDATE 3/15: Yeah, we’ve sold out of the first pressing of the Thirteen Tales Live double-LP. We’ll let everyone know when we have more. IN the meantime, the compact disc bundle options are still available at Omega Order, and you can pre-order digital versions of the album at iTunes and Amazon.
Last spring The Dandy Warhols kicked off the celebration of the thirteenth anniversary of their watershed album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia by performing each of the album’s thirteen tracks in thirteen different locations around downtown Portland. These stripped down guerrilla street performances were filmed for posterity by Into The Woods and will premiere Sunday, October 27th at the Hollywood Theater in NE Portland.
The evening is set to begin with acoustic performances of Dandys tunes by friends of the band featuring:
Dave of Dave’s Killer Bread, Mike Allred of Madman Comics fame, Rick Bain of Rick Bain and the Genius Position, Nigel Ledgerwood of 1776 Jsun Adams of The Upsidedown, Megan Pickerel & Herman Jolly of Buzzyshyface, and Highway.
Followed by the video premiere
Finishing with a Q&A session with The Dandy Warhols.
Plus: do you have a favorite Dandys song? You could perform it on-stage at the event in front of Courtney and Zia and Peter and everyone. Record your cover ‘demo’ and post it on our Facebook timeline and tag it #TheDandyWarholsCoverOK. If it’s the best cover ever, we’ll put you on stage!

Tickets for the show are $12 and are available at the door. This event is all-ages.
ITEM: We’re about week away from Festival Corona Capital in Mexico City (SAT 12 OCT). Now word comes down today that Zia (DJ Rescue) will be spinning the night before (FRI 11 OCT) at Legión Americana. Drop by, it’ll be a hoot!
ITEM: Hey PDX’ers don’t make plans for October 27th, we’re having the premiere of our 13 Songs in 13 Places videos that night at The Hollywood Theatre. We’re still waiting on the ticket info for some reason, so we’ll have it for you next week, as well as details on a fun contest we’re putting on to go with the event.
ITEM: Courtney sat down with what we are told is the big whoop with rock in the Balkans, take a look HERE if you read Serbian. (I don’t!)

And in my hotel is a silver phone. I must be in Pittsburgh! I think it’s supposed to be gold though. If you look closely it has a yellowy hue. Maybe it was gold but has faded.
I watched Jack Reacher last night cuz it kept cutting to almost exactly this shot in the trailer.
Ahhhh, springtime in Pittsburgh. Hopefully I’ll get to the review later today when it boils itself down to one sentence..
