This is exactly what our show felt like. Or, well, that’s what I think now. I hope the performance/execution was ok, ’cause it was broadcast live across Australia. If I tried to describe the difference of REAL live recordings and “live” records I can only say that if you’ve only bought “live”records then you’ve probably never heard a real live recording.
Well it is what it is. Can’t wait to hear it.
Kinda.

Day 2.
This family is up and in the hot tub by 7 am. Gotta respect the amount of zeal that must take.
More Brisbane cityscape.
Midnight juggernauts. They’re really good live.
Dan Black is amazing. Whoa.
By the way, TESSERACT turned out to be a very good book. A number of modern fiction cliches but this guy has such a strong and interesting “thing” that they seem intrinsic to the whole trip. Really good. And way more depth than the beginning had indicated. Definitely read it.
Bravo, dude.

Day 1.
I call this one “again hotel life again”.
The two things that make this really mean something to me are the Grateful Dead shirt and the Star Wars pillowcase. I’ve carried that fucker around for years. Through airports. Across continents. It helps me sleep.
Then, of course, perfectly three – or more likely four (but definitely not five) – star stylings are a hugely repetitive part of my life too. Not only of my life but of all touring rock bands who are good enough to achieve international travel and accommodations paid for by the promoter.
Nice.
I think I’m going through a phase in my life right now where I’m really appreciating how cool all the little details are and not really sweating too much of the negative shit. If it persists til the end of this tour I’m pretty sure I will not be bummed…. But then again I’m pretty drunk right now.

Hey, here is an interview Fathead gave with Triple-J in Melbourne last week, talking about living in Australia, festivals, and the new Capitol Years record. At the end of the interview, you will hear half of the newest Dandys song, “This is the Tide”. The second half of the song is just as good, so you should buy it when it comes out wherever you live.

Hey, don’t forget, we’ll be on the Parklife Festival Tour in Australia this coming September/October. Tickets are on sale for that now at parklife.com.au.

From an interview CTT submitted to the Daily Telegraph in Sydney:
1. DOWN UNDER DRUMMER
Dandy Warhols drummer Brent DeBoer has just moved to Melbourne, from where his wife hails. He got married out in the billabongs,” frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor says. We love Australia. We’re a guitar band, it’s a guitar country. Australia didn’t derail on the girl band/boy band/rap-rock nightmare of the late ’90s.”
2. INDIE MOOD
The next Dandy Warhols album won’t be on their own label again. “We’re terrible at business,” Taylor-Taylor admits. “Terrible. We don’t know what we’re doing. It’s like trying to have children run a household. We need to hook up with some indie label. The new stuff is sounding good. It’s a little less dirty so far.”
3. SINGLE MINDED
Their old label has released a new compilation Best of the Capitol Years 1995-2007 – with Dandy hits Bohemian Like You, We Used to Be Friends and Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth. “It’s funny to have all the big hits, the marginal hits and the cult hits all together on one album. It makes good sense.”
4. A WALK IN THE PARK
They’ll play the hits during their Parklife festival set. “We love playing dance festivals. We’re basically a trance band who use Simon and Garfunkel’s instruments and harmonies.”

Taken from a Taylor-Taylor interview in Australian ZOO Weekly, conducted by Lachlan Williams. Do I have a link to the entire interview? No!
What would you recommend we drink to accompany the different Dandys albums?
Yes. I’m going to say the first record is Tanqueray and tonic with a lime. Come Down is really Jager with a beer back. It’s thick and foggy in your head. It’s a young man’s drink. Whiskey and soda, of course, is Thirteen Tales. Courvoisier on the rocks for Monkey House.Great! What the hell is Courvoisier?
Courvoisier XO – it’s a cognac that very rich hip-hop guys drink. Y’know, on second thoughts, I think Come Down is Chartreusee in the winter, or a Pims cup if you listen to it in the summer. Odditorium is definitely French wine, and then you can move straight to port – actually, I think Earth to the Dandy Warhols is more like that. Odditorium, there’s a definite New York thing to that. I think it’s tequila with a Rolling Rock beer back. It’s a very New-Yorky beer. Hey, I should put this online to go with our Capitol Years 1995-2007 release.
And so we did.
