The Upsidedown – The Dandy Warhols ☆ Official

Pete Int’l Airport On Apple Video

Written by Peter Holmstrom on 12 Feb 2010. Posted in Peter.

Last summer I got a call from an old friend (Michael Hebb) asking if I’d like to take part in this project that he’d put together called “Songs For Eating And Drinking” The idea was: get a bunch of musicians, feed them a great meal, ask them to preform a couple of songs and film the whole thing. The timing was perfect. Jsun Adams (The Upsidedown, and the singer on all Pete International Airport songs) and I ran through a couple of songs and decided we were ready for our debut.

When we arrived we found out that Apple was filming a special on Chase Jarvis (the photography/film half of the project) Anyway, we ended up in the thing. Here it is:

First Post Of Twenty-Ten

Written by sea gothman on 04 Jan 2010. Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

Oh, my old, old friend, my twenty-ten, pull me to your cold cheek again.

I think the big whoop-ti-do over in North Portland on New Years with Brainer and the Upsidedowns and the Sixers was a big success. I didn’t go, I only attend white-tie masquerades now. But my Facebook is flooded with pics of the party, like this one I just stole form Upsidedown Jsun.

A NEW YEAR!

Courtney Taylor-Taylor, the leader of this outfit, has a couple of new movie reviews on his page, Pork Chop Hill and Arsenic and Old Lace.

I only saw one movie in theaters over the break, Broken Embraces, and it was great. I now have a free ticket, because the Regal Club Card has to pay off sometime, and I was going to use it to see, Nine, but I guess everyone says it’s terrible, so now I don’t know what to see. (Not Avatar.) Someone let me know if that Clooney flick with the girl from Rocket Science is any good.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you are in Portland this Thursday night, don’t go to some movie show, check out Logan Lynn at Doug Fir. He’s the coolest.

Later, twenty-tenners.

New Years Twenty Ten

Written by sea gothman on 23 Dec 2009. Posted in Off-Topic, The Dandy Warhols.

If you’re like me, I’m so sorry. No, if you’re like me you have an affinity for New Years, like one-hundred times stronger than with The Christmas. (Sacrilege.) Because no matter what, I’m always saying to myself “well, that was the worst year ever,” and for once I can just maybe look forward to something not so terrible. And hey, I’m looking forward to people saying “Twenty-ten” – the thought of not having to hear “two-thousand-and-blah” ad infinitum, I’m pretty damned giddy about that. Maybe I will even leave the Gothman Estate, go out and venture into the cloud of irresponsible drunkards one more time in observance of this turning of the decade. Wouldn’t that be something?

Well, if there was any show that would bring out a zombie shut-in, the one cooked up for 31 DEC 09 would be it.

Give me a break. The World Famous Kenton Club in North Portland will be packed. Don’t dress like a bum, and maybe take it easy with the sauce.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

Very Specific Things To Do This Weekend

Written by sea gothman on 18 Sep 2009. Posted in The Dandy Warhols.

Hey. So this weekend, right?

So the Dandys are at the Clean Air Clear Stars festival Saturday night, but we’re hoping that you’re making your way there, well, right now, because the fun starts Friday night with some supercool bands and other debaucheries. And on Saturday, there is a whole Oregon Trail wagon-load of Beat The World bands playing. Oh yeah, like who, Gothman? Well, our newest band, 1776, will be playing at 1pm, you do not want to miss these kids. At 6pm, our returning champs, The Upisdedown, take the stage, and at 8pm it’s our tour latest tour partners, Sprindrift. Then the Dandys go on at 9pm. Then the world blows up. Then there is Sunday with a bunch more groovy cats.

If you’re in Portland, catch the remaining Beat The World artist Logan Lynn as he plays MFNW tonight, 9pm at East End. Check that out, and check out Logan’s great new record, From Pillar to Post.

Did you skip the opening page of the website? I know I usually do, but we have a couple of tunes for you to listen to this time around, or covers of “Sister Golden Hair” and “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”. Click the banner at the very top of the page to go there. Just look at those Dandys… those dirty hippies.

P.S. Happy birthday, Lee!

Laters.
