Show announcement, you guys. This is an all-ages show on Friday, June 5th in Pomona, CA. Tickets go on sale Saturday May 9th at 12n and are expected to go fast. Super stoked, we’ll see you there.
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.
Our second remix collection entitled Earth To The Remix Vol 2 is now available. Like our first effort, Earth To The Remix Vol 1, we have taken songs from Earth To The Dandy Warhols and turned them around into something different and cool, new and strange, uncanny and refreshing, and other adjectives.
If you fancy record stores, you can find Earth To The Remix Vol 2 exclusively at recordstoreday.com retail outlets in the United States and HMV locations in Canada on Saturday, April 18th. If you prefer iTunes, Amazon, or other digital retailers, the record will be available Tuesday, April 21.
Or, you can download the record from us RIGHT NOW for just $3.49 for lossless (FLAC) digital download. Go ahead and listen below, we think you will agree that you won’t find anything better you can spend $3.49 on.

The members of rock band The Dandy Warhols will appear on the TV Series Les Invincibles during the next episode, broadcast on Radio-Canada, Tonight, March 18, at 9:00 p.m.
Earlier this season, Jean-François Rivard, director and co-author of Les Invincibles, used on an episode The Dandy Warhols’ song THE LEGEND OF THE LAST OF THE OUTLAW TRUCKERS AKA THE LEGEND OF SHERIFF SHORTY, from their album …Earth To The Dandy Warhols… . Then, Rivard decided to send The Dandy Warhols an English subtitled version of Les Invincibles to see if they would be interested in appearing on the show. The Dandy Warhols gladly accepted, and Rivard flew to Portland, Oregon to shoot the band for the opening scene of Wednesday’s episode.
You will be pleased to know that we have selected the winner of our Mis Amigos Remix Contest – make way for Luc, who will receive a one-time pressing on Acetate of his mix signed by the band. Nice one, Luc. We’ve put together a playlist featuring some of our favorite mixes. Listen below, they’re great.
We didn’t forget the designers – the winner of the cover design will be announced next week.
And hey, thanks to everyone who sent in their remix – you guys did a great job, so much so we really had our work cut-out for us in selecting a winner. We want everyone to hear your cool tune – if you haven’t done so, or if you have any other remix or mash-up you want to to hear, share it on Soundcloud. Thanks again, guys.
