Here’s one we hadn’t seen in thirteen years. The Dandy Warhols perform ‘Get Off’ on French music show Nulle Part Ailleurs, 11 September 2000. According to our Gigography, the Dandys would play the next night at Le Trabendo in Paris, and then fly home, which is a weird little trip, if you ask me.

We’ve ransacked our closets to find some rare, never-before heard gems from the Thirteen Tales recording sessions.

The formats include 2CD and digital audio packages via Capitol, with newly remixed Pop-Art packaging by original album designer Steven Birch, plus a big bad limited edition deluxe vinyl box set – with all new-t-shirt packages – available exclusively from dandywarhols.com.

On this date thirteen years ago The Dandy Warhols filmed the video for “Godless.” It was my first official day working for these jokers, and it set precedent of “sitting around all day, glaring” equals working. The most difficult part came when I had to stand for the six hour bathroom scene. So tough, acting.
Joining The Dandy Warhols in the video was Travis Grassman, as the bartender, Spike Keating and Michele Loew, as the couple, and Cameron the hula hoop boy as himself. The girl with the big eyes I don’t know and never saw again.
The video, directed by Chris Anthony, was filmed in the then newly-christened Dante’s at the ever bustling corner of 3rd and West Burnside in downtown Portland. So striking Dante’s was to me on that first day of filming, with its warm, dark womb-like ambience, hand to god I cannot remember what had occupied its spot previously.
More 13 Tales Tales tomorrow!

On this date in 2000, The Dandy Warhols closed down the St. Johns Bridge in NW Portland to film the bookend sequences for the “Get Off” video. Did you know you can just dial up the mayor’s office and demand a major Willamette River crossing to be closed just for laughs? You didn’t? That’s because you can’t. You need a permit and it has to be done at like 6am on a Sunday morning so longshormen don’t get all mad at you and stuff. I doubt St. Johns himself could close this bridge, say, during the Jazz Festival or whatever. If you’re going to shut down a bridge, please get permission first.
The remainder of the “Get Off” video was filmed two days later on April 11th. Why the “day off” in between? The answer to that tomorrow.
