Dandy Warhols – Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth [YouTube]
I wouldn’t go out a limb and say that I’m a huge fan of The Dandy Warhols, but I saw that they announced a decent tour today and I was curious to see what some of our readers thought about the band. Their stuff is kinda fun, poppy and psychedelic, which is great, but I have no clue how they come off live. One band that does fun, poppy, and psychedelic that I have been enjoying for quite some time would be Of Montreal, and I got into them once I heard how well they sounded live (and not really at all before that time). So maybe that’s me and these guys. Plus, the first single off their new album, Earth to the Dandy Warhols, is a seriously funky delight.
Anybody seen them recently? Anyone seen DiG!? Do share your comments. As for the band, they’re up in BC for the next two nights and then onto various stops and cities around the US. Read on for the tour dates…
(As a side note: I really remember loving that video above when it came out — the dancers are my favorite part).
