Shows Added: September Tour Dates With Spindrift (US)

tour-thing

We thought it would be fun to tour with our friends and label mates Spindrift, so we came up with this, what we are calling “THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA TOUR”. (See if you can figure out why.) All shows are all ages, so you can throw that fake I.D. in the trash. (No one believes it anyway.)

Tickets are already on sale (or, on “pre-sale”) if you’re a Dandys subscriber. OH!! Tickets for the rest of youse go on sale at noon tomorrow (June 24th). That’s probably noon our time (pacific), not yours. Check back here then for a special pre-sale widget. (Tickets for the Monolith Festival, September 13 at Red Rocks are already on sale, no waiting or widgets.)

SEPT 01	The Vogue	Indianapolis, IN	06/24
SEPT 03	Beaumont	Kansas City, MO	06/24

Fathead’s Record

I just had the good luck of happening on Fathead finishing his record. Jeez louise. It’s amazing. He recorded it with Brian Coates a couple years ago and it was amazing to see what those dark days became after those years of growth. Unbelievably beautiful music.

Hold The Phone, Zia’s Got A Movie Review

Cisco Pike

(1972)

Directed by Bill L. Norton

A ménage à trois involving a 7 month pregnant drug user, drug deals with 70′s pimps, a soundtrack by Kris Kristoferson and a role for Harry Dean Stanton? Sure.

Dandys Pedalpalooza Bike Ride

I heard from Sarah’s friend Jo Ryan that there was a Dandy Warhols bike ride as one of the events for “Pedalpalooza“. It was listed in the paper saying it was going to a tour of the important locations in the history of the band around the city of Portland. Zia and I went and there was a great turn out and we cruised around in a giant mob blasting the Dandys on a boom box that was attached to the tour guides bicycle. We went to the WTTMH studio, to Slabtown, the Rock Dorm, the Oddy, a bar called “Plan B” to watch some Dandy videos, (including ‘Plan A‘ – get it?) to the X-ray Cafe, and some locations around town where some of the Dandy music videos were shot. We finished up at pretty much my favorite bar in town, the Red Fox on Albina for beers. Zia and I tried out a ‘tall’ bike. Pretty scary ! An absolutely perfect night.
