The Dandy Warhols are a psychedelic pop/rock band formed in Portland, Oregon by Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals & guitar), Zia McCabe (Synthesizer), Peter Loew (guitarist), and Eric hedford (drums). When Hedford left in 1999, Taylor-Taylor’s cousin Brent De Boer replaced him as drummer, where he has remained since. The band’s name is a play on the name of pop artist Andy Warhol.

The Dandy Warhols are strongly influenced by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones as well as including implicit musical references to Jethro Tull and My Bloody Valentine in some songs. Frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor describes the band beginning as a group of friends who “needed music to drink to.” The band performed live shows in bars throughout Portland and released their first album, “Dandys Rule Ok?” in 1995. This album was largely ignored but is cited as influential in Capitol Records’ decision to sign the band. Many Dandy Warhols fans claim that this album contains some of the band’s best material, tending to single out the energetic “lou weed,” the melodically complex “

Dick” (possibly the closest to shoegaze the Dandy Warhols have gotten), and the 16-minute jam session “It’s a Fast-Driving Rave Up With the Dandy Warhols 16 Minutes”, which features both a prelude and a finale.

mart-the-mod, i'm sure you're right when you say they are special and amazing live, but on the concert where i saw them i didn't like the sound, maybe it just wasn't their fault then? now i'm just disappointed i didn't get to experience the dandy's at their best...

lol <3 the hardcore dandy fan community has collaborated to come up with most of the lyrics here http://www.dandywarhols.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1551 ... apparently courtney 'taylor-taylor' thinks he's too cool to actually physically write anything so there are no official lyrics for anything

Love song. Only courtney can get away with something so damn cheesy and cliched, but still make it cool

VisualExtacy..what are you on. I've seen em twice and both times they had the best sound i've heard of pretty much any band. They are so special live, albums since 13 tales have not been so good but live those songs sound awesome. The part in godless where it cuts out, trumpet solo then courtney comes in with those chords, best sounding guitar i have ever heard in my life, and i've seen MBV. Seriously, amazing live band. And courtney is a complete poser, which is exactly what we want in a frontman, cool as fuck. They so rule, fact.....

i saw em live and i think they should do something about their act, because i didn't even recognize boys better at first. i love their music but they need to work on their sound when they play live...

Since thirteen tales, each album has followed a design. Some awesome songs and some awful songs. Make a compilation of the best of the last 3 albums. I hope they give up the bad electro thing, it doesn't suit them. You only need to see em live to realise that

I've just discovered the band, in full glory. Zia is fricken HOT, and they just write good songs. ON ALL the albums. The hells bells cover is tops as well.

The new album is slowly starting to grow on me. Although I can't imagine that even members of the band have listened to Musee D'Nougat more than once.

My ass is also bleeding from all the kicking this album has done to it. Specifically, the first 7 tracks, which are amazing.. the first 3 tracks of 13 Tales will always remain their absolute best, to me, though..
