The wind chill factor at Venice was sub arctic so I ended up looking like a local freak to keep my ears from falling off. Nobody asked me for spare change. There was a dude with a sign that said “kick me in the nuts: 10$ guys. 5$ girls.”
I didn’t have exact change.
Stood here for a while watching these nuts get horizontal at like 40 miles an hour. There are little kids in there too and these dudes will take a serious wipe out to avoid hitting em. Pretty bad ass. Or just fugging crazy.
The Dandy Warhols will play Poolbar (“Poolbar Festival”) in Feldkirch, Austria the evening of Wednesday, July 16th. Tickets seem to be available now at poolbar.at.
The Dandy Warhols are stoked to announce that they will be performing at Desert Stars Festival for the first time in five years – October 3-4 2014 at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, CA. This is probably the most anticipated annual event in our little Dandys/Jonestown family, and we can’t tell you how much we’re looking forward to it.
Special pre-sale tickets will be available through the Desert Stars Kickstarter in May; general pre-sale tickets in June. For tenative lineup information, see desertstarsfestival.com, and follow their Facebook if you’re into that kind of thing.
Additional Australian shows have been added for SOLD OUT Perth (21/8 at Astor Theatre), and a record 4th show in Melbourne (2/9 at Corner Hotel). Tickets are on sale now HERE.
During the initial packaging construction of the latest Dandy Warhols album things were a bit crazy around the Odditorium. We had a big management shakeup and things were pretty confusing a real goddamn mess for a while. And the unthinkable happened: the identity of the photographer who took the cover photo the band selected was obscured. We messed up, and how. Credit for cover photo was given to our departed merch manager Sarah Buckley, when it wasn’t Sarah Buckley who took that photo at all. Turned out the photo, and the corresponding LP sleeve photo, was the work of Gabriel Alan Gallant. The Dandy Warhols would like to salute Gabriel and give him our unending gratitude.
I should add, personally, that was sick to hear of such an enormous editorial eff-up. Though we as an organization failed at every step of the way in properly identifying the photographer, as Dandys art director it’s ultimately my responsibility to get this stuff right on paper. I should have done better. I hope Gabriel will accept my sincerest apologies. Some may think it’s unnecessary, but we’re supposed to be pros, and this is was pretty amateurish mistake, no matter how many fires we were all trying to put out at the time.
So cheers to ya, Gabriel Alan Gallant. Thanks for your photo, and your generous heart.
The Dandy Warhols will be appearing at Ronquières Festival in Belgium on 2nd August. For all information, including festival ticketing, please visit ronquieresfestival.be.
