Perhaps best known for their 2000 release, "Bohemian Like You," The Dandy Warhols have become a familiar name in the world of rock. Founded in Portland, Oregon in 1993, The Dandy Warhols have gone on to release seven albums, contribute music to television shows like Undeclared and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and were the subject of Dig!, a rock biopic. Their sound combines a hazy irreverence with youthful camp, resulting in some pretty memorable tunes that draw comparisons to The Velvet Underground and Love and Rockets. During their session at The Pop [...]

Welcome to the Annual Vague Space Indie/Alternative Christmas Music Spectacular (TM). I was able to set aside my great urge to say "bah humbug" to this whole season this year and to get into the mood long enough for this post, so hopefully this will get you in the spirit if you are like me and saw Christmas lights glowing in your neighborhood the day after Thanksgiving and said "Are you fucking kidding me? Already?" Anyway, merry happy or something. Enjoy. Download Bishop Allen - "You'll Never Find My [...]
Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "Laredo" by Band of Horses [...]
It's been a while since I posted some Cure covers, so there you go. The Dandy Warhols manage to sound more like The Bravery than Robert Smith and co. (but that's not a bad thing), while Misery Loves Co. add a sinister industrial edge to the bleakness of The Drowning Man . For something more light-hearted give a listen to the lo-fi takes of Dean & Brita and The Good Natured . The Dandy Warhols - Primary (The Cure cover) [...]
The Proper Ornaments From : London, United Kingdom With a name taken from a track by obscure 60s baroque popsters The Free Design it comes as no surprise that the Proper Ornaments sound like they've just emerged in a druggy haze from a beaten up time machine. They may not thank me for this but they sound like the product of an illicit late [...]

Since 1995, The Dandy Warhols have been one of the greatest bands at writing incredible hooks, producing hit singles like Bohemian Like You and We Used To Be Friends. With the release of The Capitol Years 1995-2007 , the evidence of their impact on alternative rock has been perfectly packaged on one record. Drummer/backup vocalist Brent DeBoer took some time on the phone with me to talk about the album and their current tour. TDOA: Who made the decision to put out The Capital Years compilation? [...]
Photo by Meqo Sam Cecil THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Wolf Parade Friday, November 12 Variety Playhouse - 1099 Euclid Avenue NE in Atlanta 30307 Admission is $25 / Purchase Tickets Wolf Parade songs are generally tense and tenuous; there's a vague sense of unease and paranoia that inhabits their dark, out of the way corners. It's not always the easiest or most pleasant music to embrace, but those that make the effort to wade through their [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive The Dandy Warhols had left the stage. The show was over. The house playlist at New York City's Webster Hall had come on the speakers, the house lights were turned up and the roadies began to dismantle the equipment. But the boisterous audience at the Dandy Warhols show Saturday night refused to go home. And then the unthinkable happened. The stage lights reappeared and the [...]
Been on a bit of a Talking Heads kick. This track, "The Big Country", is taken from the expanded and remastered classic, The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads . The first disc features '77 & '79 studio recordings by the four of them, and the second an expanded ten-piece group that toured in '80 & '81. Talking Heads - Big Country I thought I'd mention, before it goes and sells-out, but Interpol tickets went on sale for their February show [...]

Though the festival made stops in five cities across the continent, the Melbourne date was its most memorable, boasting balmy [...]
Like at many concerts, the crowd in front of the stage was pretty sparse for opener Blue Giant . To be perfectly honest, this reviewer had never even heard the name Blue Giant before (we later found out that the two main vocalists are a separate act on their own, the Barsuk darlings Viva Voce ). The group walked on stage looking more like 1970s Woodstock meets the American South than anything befitting of the crystal chandeliers and gold couches of Royale . With a smaller audience fairly unsure of what to expect, [...]
Portland rockers, The Dandy Warhols , came together in the early 90's, prior to the invasion of the Northeast states' grunge movement. Strongly influenced by classic bands like The Velvet Underground, Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones, the band found a wall of sound all their own that remains timeless to this day. Nine studio albums, countless world tours, and one infamous feud with The Brian Jonestown Massacre later, The Dandy Warhols are back on the road in support of their latest disc, The Capitol Years 1995 - 2007 , which is [...]

Hopewell mound from Ohio I was all excited, after Hopewell's management asked us to write about their upcoming show with the Dandy Warhols this Sunday, to talk about the Native American Hopewell tradition . What a cool source for a band name, I thought. The Hopewell tradition spanned societies of the Eastern United States, from 200-500 CE, and was a sort of pax romana . A period of extensive trade throughout the area and, anthropologists suspect, significant peace. Plus, who doesn't love the cool mysterious mounds the societies left behind? [...]
