Hey, here is the pre-sale dealie for the Italian Christmas shows in Seattle and Portland. Lee wanted me to tell you that those who buy pre-sale tickets will get five bucks ($5) off in our merch store. Well that’s good news!

As Dandy Warhols, we like to take a different approach to Christmas: a little more Old World and a lot more jaunty. Take Italy. Their holiday season is comparable in length to the common American holiday season, but with its baked eel and lumps of coal and mash-ups with what we think of as Halloween traditions – La Befana the Epiphany witch, children in costumes going from door to door for treats – it seems a hell of a lot more festive than a fat man whipping flying deer to bring you an iPhone, doesn’t it? We are on a mission to convince Christendom that Italy does it best. But these things take time; Rome wasn’t bilked in a day. Easing into the task we commence this year with our annual Christmas shows with the introduction of a sliver of sunny Italy to the Northwest’s dreary environs. Just a taste, a Fellini twist on the usual Dandys holiday performance, with shows on December 11th at Nuemos in Seattle and December 12th and 13th at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom. Ticket link on Wednesday.

We thought it would be fun to tour with our friends and label mates Spindrift, so we came up with this, what we are calling “THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA TOUR”. (See if you can figure out why.) All shows are all ages, so you can throw that fake I.D. in the trash. (No one believes it anyway.)
Tickets are already on sale (or, on “pre-sale”) if you’re a Dandys subscriber. OH!! Tickets for the rest of youse go on sale at noon tomorrow (June 24th). That’s probably noon our time (pacific), not yours. Check back here then for a special pre-sale widget. (Tickets for the Monolith Festival, September 13 at Red Rocks are already on sale, no waiting or widgets.)
