Our friend Logan Lynn speaks to Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney, Portlandia), and Calvin Johnson (K-Records founder) about the Crystal Ballroom‘s centennial celebration their favorite memories of the legendary Portland venue.

Taylor-Taylor: Right now, it is the focal center of Portland’s world-renowned indie music scene. It is the single, central part of it. It gets the biggest bands, the best bands. The Vic in Chicago, The Fillmore in San Francisco, The 9:30 Club in Washington D.C., 1st Avenue in Minneapolis, Crystal in Portland — these are the legendary rooms.

Big Takeover Review 10/30/10

Here is something I found today that I liked.

Big Takeover: The Dandy Warhols with Blue Giant-The Vic Theater (Chicago, IL)-Saturday, October 30th, 2010

CLIPPED …More than anything, their 2 hour set brought about a sense of rich perspective on the band’s best works, which are definitely something to be proud of. “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth” and “We Used to Be Friends” appeared quite early on and garnered a great camaraderie amongst Dandies fans. “I Love You” was ripe with a keener sense of lust and Taylor sang “Holiday” in its most stripped down form by himself after excusing the band and quipping that they all needed to take a break and use the restroom. “Boys Better,” “Bohemian Like You,” and “Get Off” came later and felt epically catchy. Another highlight, “Good Morning” provided such a rich melancholy that one couldn’t help but close her/his eyes just to feel the pleasurable waves pass through the thick air hovering about….

Interview: Fathead on Triple-J

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.

Interview: “Fine and Dandy”

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.”

Discography Drinkography

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.

PROFILE: Music the way The Dandy Warhols like it

Zia wanted you to see this profile on ESPN.com

Sound check is over for The Dandy Warhols. The band has dispersed to the grassy courtyard next to the bar where they’ll be playing tonight and Zia McCabe — keyboardist, percussionist and organizational brains for the Dandy Warhols — takes a bag of rough-hewn tobacco out of her purse and rolls a cigarette as her 5-year-old daughter Matilda runs by in pigtails and a black dress. McCabe shakes her head and takes a sip of her beer as she wishes aloud that her daughter will steer clear of the bartenders who work at the venue; she’s heard the women in question cursing violently while discussing their reveling ways and wants Matilda nowhere near them.
