Welp, that concludes The Dandy Warhols world tour for Distortland. Now, you’d think a vacation or even a nap would be in order, but The Dandy Warhols are already back at The Odditorium recording new tunes; the remainder of 2017 will be a recording year.
We thank you, our friends and family, for coming out to visit with us over the past twelve months. Your continued enthusiastic endorsement of our artist endeavors means all the world to us. Only with friends like you is it possible to do what we do. There’s no way we can thank you other than getting back to work and give you more. Our sincere interminable love to you always.
The Dandy Warhols have added a handful of West Coast dates to their Distortland Tour this December, inlcuding Vancouver, Petaluma, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francsico. Advance tickets are available from Applauze right now, kid.
We will reveal more December dates in the coming weeks.
What did The Dandy Warhols sound like before they became world-famous practitioners of neo-psychedelia and synthpop? What did they sound like during their eighth concert ever? Now we know. Comfortable shifting between shoegaze and garage rock, confident in their stage banter and poised for world domination! Live at the X-Ray Cafe is the third release in Voodoo’s “Tales from the Grease Trap” archival series. The recording, from July 8, 1994, was originally captured at Portland’s legendary all-ages venue the X-Ray Cafe. New York engineer Don Fury transferred the untouched multichannel analog cassette into his console, mixed it then mastered it along with input from Courtney Taylor-Taylor.
This recording is only available on 12-inch extended play vinyl from Voodoo. For heaven sake, bring home a dozen!
The world is full of corporate billionaire scumbags who pollute the Earth, kill wildlife, cause cancer, secretly running nations into the ground, and the moronic masses who just agree with their mindless slogans and will never fight the good fight to help to stop them until finally the last blistered blind three armed mutant dregs of humanity eat each other’s putrid flesh in mankind’s final nauseating death throes…
No, no, Portland’s water is still safe from fluoridation, thank goodness. This time the problem is with GMOs. The issue isn’t whether or not GMOs are good or bad, it’s about labeling. We consumers deserve the right to know exactly what goes in our food. This is a grassroots campaign going up against some of the biggest food and chemical corporations in America. (You know, those bullies with the nearly unlimited funds and power.) By voting YES on Measure 92, you can make sure that food sold in the state of Oregon is required to list all GMO ingredients on its packaging. Sixty-four other countries have already provided this for their citizens. Let’s help Oregon become the first state in the USA to make GMO labeling mandatory. Together we can help lead the rest of America in the effort to make corporations honest about what they put in our food.
This all ties into an upcoming benefit I’m co-organizing called Portland Sings Out! at Star Theater on October 12th where Courtney Taylor-Taylor will be performing an acoustic rendition of CSNY’s “OHIO”.
Here are two easy ways to be a part of positive change right this minute:

Can you believe that it’s October 11th and and we haven’t even talked about CHRISTMAS yet? What a sorry state of affairs. This empire is in shambles! I was in the stadium Fred Meyer the other day and they had all jack o’lanterns and witch wigs – not at all Christmassy! HERETICS!
Anyway, with the first irreverent paragraph completed, it’s time to announce the annual Dandy Warhols Christmas shows set to take place this year over three nights in early December. On Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th, The Dandy Warhols will play the new Star Theater in NW Portland. These two shows are 21 and over. On Sunday, December 11, The Dandy Warhols will play an all-ages matinee at Doug Fir on East Burnside in Portland. Joy to the freakin’ world.
Tickets for STAR THEATER (21+) go on sale to the general public Friday, October 14th at 10am HERE.
Tickets for DOUG FIR (AA) go on sale to the general public Friday, October 14th at 10am HERE.
