Hey, we’ve had a change of plans in regards to our little party up in Vancouver on the 29th. Formerly, we were going to play at the Commodore Ballroom, but then we got to thinking, what if we played an entire show in a hot air balloon!! Dig it! Flying too high with some band in the sky! “But oh! Oh”, they said, with that that scornful gaze beset upon our lofty proposal. ”No traders in this rock-and-roll haberdashery shall pollute our pristine heavens! Not on your life, buster!” With downcast eyes, we wept., our dreams a pile of ash dusting our feet.

So, instead of that, we have decided to play for some kicks with REM and Wilco at Thunderbird Stadium that night.

Hey, the date that we are going to be on Late Night with Conan O’Brien has been moved up, from August 15th to August 14th, so set your alarm for that. Also, on the 15th, we will be playing an abreviated acoustic set at Housing Works Used Book Cafe. This show will be a benifit for homeless persons living with HIV and AIDS.

Once again, we must let you know our single for “You Were The Last High” is out and for sale in the usual locations. If you are having trouble finding usual locations, try buying the single HERE.

This message is for the Australians in the audience. Hey. It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. You kids love us. When those two shows in Sydney and Melbourne sold out so fast, you were crushed. Gothman got so much email from you guys that he had to put down his cigarette to brush away the tears of exhaustion. Anyway, we would have loved to have played more shows down under, but we couldn’t. Our schedule is just too screwy. But rest assured, we will return for something “Big” at the beginning of the year. (“Big”? Get it?)

But, if you can’t wait that long, we have two pair of tickets to give away. One pair for Sydney, July 31 at Metro, and one for Melbourne, August 3 at Hi Fi. The catch? The winners, get this, draw or Photoshop their best rendition of The Dandy Warhols getting saved from certain death by either a crazed dingo, a evil giant bong, or George Lucas. It’s your choice, so have fun with it. When you’re done, send your entries to certain_death@dandywarhols.com. The winners will be chosen by Gothman and some of his cronies. Get crackin’, Picasso!

We have added four supplemental European gigs to our schedule this fall, sans the great Mr. Bowie. On October 14th, we will play at Tilburg 013 in Holland, the 25th the Rocking Chair in Vevey, Switzerland, November 18th at the University in Liverpool, and finally the 25th at the Ambassador in Dublin. Check back in SHOWS for ticket information in the coming weeks.
