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.
Hey man, what are you up to? We’re still in the development phase for this site, figuring out what we want to do, what should go where, all that jazz. We’ll figure it all out. Thanks for coming by to read what we have going on so far. A lot more is on the way, for sure.
At the Oddy, we’re finishing up out Earth To The Remix EP Vol 2 which is due to be in stores on April 18 for Record Store Day. With all-new remixes by The Dandy Warhols, it’s something you really should not miss. (And if you’re a subscriber to our Subscription Service, you know you won’t miss a damn thing.)
Got Twitter? We do. Follow us over there. (We gotta come up with a better word for “tweets”, though. I mean, this is Oregon, we have bigger birds than ones that go “tweet.”) Anyway, that’s over there, so check it out.
Finally, our Beat The World label mates Spindrift and The Upsidedown are now on tour in the western U.S. Together, in some cases – like tonight, here in Portland. You would feel really dumb if you missed these two awesome groups. “And what did you do while Spindrift and The Upsidedown were in town?” “Oh, I had my thump up my butt.” No.
More news on the way soon, I’m sure. Unless we get hit by an asteroid. Did you hear about that? Scary. Take cover.
The Dandys’ cover of the Cure’s “Primary” is available for free along with this week’s NME special tribute to The Cure, pictured with me on the cover looking all bashful. (Oh, that’s Robert Smith.) “Pictures of You, A Tribute to Godlike Geniuses of the Cure.” Get it at your local, what do they call ’em over there, news agents?
If you can’t pic up the mag, our song is still available on the double length Cure tribute Perfect As Cats, available in stores and on iTunes.
UPDATE: Yes, Lee, thanks. This special edition of NME drops in your lap Feb 28th.
Also, this message comes from Robert Smith:
“I LOVE THE DANDY WARHOLS AND I LOVE THIS PRIMARY COVER!”

Things are acting a little different around here. A new site is being set up, so you will bear with us as things are getting sorted. A beefier Dandy Warhols dot com is in the pot… so chunky you can eat it with a fork.
Hey, a lot of youse have been asking “what’s the big idea with the Mis Amigos Contest, mis amigos?” We have not forgotten you. Quite frankly, Mr Shankly, we were overwhelmed by the tremendous response. Have you ever been buried under an avalanche of remixes? Sure, it sounds fun, but that’s what killed Shep Pettibone. Anyway, really, thanks for the response, you guys.
Court, Zia, Pete, and Fatty have been going through all the mixes and it’s super tough to decide winners in a sitch like this, because they are pretty much all supercool. We should wind things down with this soon, though, so you can expect an announcement and a winner shortly.
