13 Tales Tales: Godless at Dantes
On this date thirteen years ago The Dandy Warhols filmed the video for “Godless.” It was my first official day working for these jokers, and it set precedent of “sitting around all day, glaring” equals working. The most difficult part came when I had to stand for the six hour bathroom scene. So tough, acting.
Joining The Dandy Warhols in the video was Travis Grassman, as the bartender, Spike Keating and Michele Loew, as the couple, and Cameron the hula hoop boy as himself. The girl with the big eyes I don’t know and never saw again.
The video, directed by Chris Anthony, was filmed in the then newly-christened Dante’s at the ever bustling corner of 3rd and West Burnside in downtown Portland. So striking Dante’s was to me on that first day of filming, with its warm, dark womb-like ambience, hand to god I cannot remember what had occupied its spot previously.
More 13 Tales Tales tomorrow!
