As the highly-anticipated new Dandy Warhols album Earth to the Dandy Warhols will soon be entering our hemisphere, we thought we’d take a journey back in time & examine just where The Dandy Warhols came from and what makes them the internationally renowned notorious musical space-beings they are today.
The Dandy Warhols formed in Portland in 1994, releasing Dandy Warhols Rule Ok on the indie label Tim/Kerr Records in 1995. Their next three albums (released through Capitol), The Dandy Warhols Come Down (1997), Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia (2000) and Welcome To The Monkey House (2003) put the band on the charts, on TV and in the spotlight with international hits like “Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth” and “Bohemian Like You.” The band enjoyed Platinum sales and sell out tours in the UK, Australia & various European countries.
In 2003, the band was chosen by David Bowie to be the supporting act on his Reality Tour and of course, the band was featured alongside the Brian Jonestown Massacre in the infamous cult-smash indie documentary film Dig!, winner of the Grand Jury Best Documentary prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
Welcome to the Monkey House (2003) featured collaborations with Nile Rodgers, Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes, and Evan Dando
Since parting ways with Capitol, The Dandy Warhols have partnered with World’s Fair Group to launch their own label, Beat The World Records.
