Tour Added: Australia + New Zealand Nov/Dec 2026

This November and December your favorite band (that’s us, right?) is back down under with another Massive Concussion of Rock™ spanning thirty-two years from the west coast of Australia to the east coast of New Zealand.

The tour kicks off with a special event in Hobart, TAS as we bring our symphony set to the Odeon accompanied by the @tasmaniansymphonyorchestra. This is the first time we take the symphonic experience out of Portland to faraway shores, so we’re pretty excited to see your faces when this hits you in the face.

Then off to New Zealand for rock shows in Auckland and Wellington, then back to Australia as we snake around the continent: Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Fremantle, Melbourne, and ending at the Meredith Music Festival in Victoria.

Tickets on sale Tuesday 25 August 10am AEST

Help Scott Simons

Written by sea gothman on 16 Jul 2026. Posted in News.

For those of you who have seen us over the years, you’ve seen the work of our lighting director, Scott Simons—even if you didn’t know his name.

We met Scott in the late ‘90s on one of our first national tours with Love and Rockets, and he’s been with us ever since. Over the decades, he has become far more than our lighting guy. He’s family. He’s been our roommate, stood beside us through life’s biggest moments, even gave a speech at one of our weddings. We know his brother, his dad (Coach Simons) has been to countless shows, and we’ve been lucky to call this hilarious, talented human our friend for a very long time.

Recently, Scott was hit with multiple serious health issues at once. After undergoing treatment for heart problems, including stents, he’s now facing an even bigger fight: a rare form of cancer.

While Scott focuses on getting well, he can’t work. We’d love to help make sure he doesn’t have to worry about paying for the basics like housing, food, and medical expenses while he fights this battle.

If you’ve ever been moved by the lights at a Dandy Warhols show, laughed with Scott backstage, or simply want to help a genuinely wonderful person through an incredibly difficult time, please consider donating. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Thank you for helping take care of one of our own.
