The Dandy Warhols Are Sound
You know, July14th is Bastille Day. All I know about Bastille Day is: I live above a creperie, and on Bastille Day that place is bonkers busy with sexy people eating crepes on the sidewalk. So I like to think Bastille Day is about hot girls and guys eating crepes with one hand and smoking a cigarette with the other hand while drinking sooo much wine with the third hand.
So with that in mind I think it’s fitting that we have selected The Dandy Warhols Are Sound for release on July 14th, 2009.
We have been whispering to you about The Dandy Warhols Are Sound for quite some time. Long story short, or if you just got to our party, late 2001 and into 2002 we recorded an album’s worth of tracks here in Portland and took those tracks to New York’s Electric Lady Studios to mix with famed mixing engineer Russell Elavedo, and the result of those mixing sessions was The Dandy Warhols Are Sound. We absolutely loved this record. However, Capitol, our label a the time, did not. They opted out of using our preferred mixes and remixed the record on their own to create Welcome To The Monkey House, a great album that we, and most of you, also love.
Meanwhile, The Dandy Warhols Are Sound just sat there. Oh, it got played. It was a staple at Odditorium parties from the start. But there are just so many people who are at any given Odditorium party. We had always intended to release this unheard gem on our own, but life and other records and tours and babies and crepes and red wine got in the way. Now finally, after almost seven years, on July 14, 2009 The Dandy Warhols will be proud to present to you The Dandy Warhols Are Sound.
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah…
GOTHMAN

Can’t wait to hear the whole thing, glad it’s getting out
Hell yeah…That’s awesome. I’m really looking foward to it. Thank you, Gothman, for the good news. Kudos to the Dandies!!!
Never having been invited to the Odditorium (which is practically in my own back yard I might add) I have never heard of this record before. Earth to the Dandy Warhols, Earth to the Remix vol. 1 and 2, and now this. I am GIDDY with anticipation. If I get to see a live Dandies show this summer on top of it all my heart will truly explode.
awesome! is there gonna be any pre-order for it? cos gettin it to the uk is gonna take a lil while longer aint it.
You rule ok!, cheers from Uruguay!
Great stuff guys, look forward to hearing the new album!
Also it seems that the link to your Facebook site just takes you to your Twitter!
in your back yard Jennyfer ? mama mia ! i’m miles away and couldn’t be so closed and not visit it …like The Bastille i’d take it by assault ! lol!
don’t like bananas only this one of The Dandys makes me hungry !lol!
merci Gothman for the news ( starving i was) and anecdotes …
Love
I had read about this album which never made it because of Capitol in an article but I didn’t know the name..I’m certain it’ll be amazing.
will defs be checking this out!
Oh,thank fuck! Ive been hearing about this for years and never thought I’d actually get to hear it. Cant wait.
Looking forward to it!
interesting how artists can be ruled by big business or rather how artists can get around big business. this is a good story and one that many other musicians can go by. i am looking forward to more music by you all – you rule my world!! down with the artificial world!!
hope we can buy this in solid state guys……….downloads are cool, but I just lurve to have that cd with the picture sleeve……………would be kickin’ to see some videos from you on dvd too. hugs & kisses to you all.
So you could come to France and gave a show we will gave you the crepes!!! (mine are so good!)
Yeah! woo!
fuck yes
The news we have all been waiting for. Yes sir. Not sure I can put up with the excitement though. July seems like such a long time away and I can’t wait. Can we have some UK dates to go with it please …you know, just to make it all perfect and lovely ?
Vinyl?
Ok, I’m french, from Paris, where was The Bastille, it’s also our first revolution. So On the 14th of July I’ll do the crêpes (with Marie), I’ll offer the wine, and the “funny” cigarettes too, but to be aperfect celebration you could come in Paris and play your Sounds. Appetissant, non??
Bleu, blanc, rouge Vinyl?
That’s great news!!! Been looking forward to it for ages. It’s great to see so much Dandies stuff being released these days.
Great question Beau Trace. How bout it,Dandys? Vynil? Pretty please? And while were at it,is asking for a sample out of the question?
Yeah…what he said. ( I mean Ed about the sample thing). That would be great! I too am finding it really hard to wait that long. It’s like a serious temptation that’s way out of reach, or a major tease. Sample? PLEASE????!!!!!
A lot of great sounds have emerged from that famous mix’n studio….gonna be interesting to see where this one will rank…go dandy’s…”you can do it”
Hey Gothman, we are releasing this ourselves. This record is coming out on Beat The World, not Capitol. Would Capitol have really let us cross out their name otherwise? I can’t believe we’re actually getting away with this artwork. Magic time.
Yeah, that’s what “Capitol, our label at the time,”, “We had always intended to release this unheard gem on our own”, and “The Dandy Warhols will be proud to present to you” probably refer to.
