Alright, it’s not actually gonna be called Pastor of Muppets.
Its gonna be called Shitty Shitty Band Band. That whole Pastor thing was just so arrogant. So full of itself. I think SSBB is good cuz it’s humble, ya know? Like Beck. Remember when he was a loser baby so why don’t you kill him?
Yeah, it’s like that.

Okay, me and Pete are finishing up our vocal and guitar basic tracks for the forthcoming Dandy Warhols album, tentatively titled The Pastor of Muppets. Zia and Fatty will likely be done by the end of the month, then the mixing nightmare followed by mastering. mixedmasteredmarch.

Last night’s show was pretty great. There’s no place like home. Probably a good thing that’s the end of the tour, because last night would be pretty hard to top. Wow, what a great crowd.
The Dandys want to thank all the great crowds who took planes and trains and busses and found parking and got baby sitters and worked an extra hour or two just to come see us in 2010. Hope you had a blast. It might be the most fun we’ve ever head. But I bet we have more fun in 2011. It’s always more and more fun. How does that even work??

The last leg of our touring for the year has got off to a great start. With the 3rd show being my favorite so far.
Here is a very flattering review of the Seattle show.
PS: This means we’ve played three great shows in a row in Seattle (Neumo’s, Bumbershoot and Showbox), a place I always considered us to be hit or miss. Nice to know we’ve got a place so close to home we can now count on enjoying. Way to go Seattle fans!

The Dandy Warhols 2010 North American Tour resumes Wednesday night as we cross the border to Victoria for a show at Sugar Nightclub. Then it’s on to Vancouver the next night at Commodore Ballroom, and Seattle’s Showbox at the Market on Friday, December 3rd. We pick back up in San Diego (Solana Beach) on Tuesday, December 7th at Belly Up, then over to a rare show in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock on Wednesday the 8th. On Friday, December 10th we are in Los Angeles at Club Nokia, then up the coast to the City and County of San Francisco and the Regency Ballroom on Saturday (12/11) before returning home to Portland on Sunday the 12th for the final Dandys show of the year at the Crystal Ballroom.
Plus, some lucky so-and-sos will have a chance to win tickets to our shows in Seattle, LA, and SF from TheRFW.COM. God bless us everyone!

This week the Dandys are recording a cover of the Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” (only one of the greatest rock songs of all time). Here’s Zia getting ready to put on some theremin. We’ll let you know when you can hear it.
I mean, not now. We won’t let you know now.
