The Dandy Warhols Reveal Video For 
"Catcher In The Rye"  

Video Premieres Via NPR's "First Watch"

Band On Tour Now, Newest Album Distortland Out Via Dine Alone
The Dandy Warhols are happy to share a video for their single "Catcher In The Rye."  The video was directed by Mike Bruce whose upcoming film Treasure Of The Black Jaguar is being released in January.  The Dandy Warhol's Courtney Taylor Taylor told NPR  "I simply told Mike that the song is about love that doesn't need anything in return. I'm not even sure that exists but I didn't tell him that. He did an astounding job. I still get a little choked up by the end."  The video stars Duke Nicholson (Jack Nicholson's grandson) as Holden Caulfield and Caitlin Carmichael as the young woman. Stereogum have said of the track "it has all the understated, tuneful swagger that you would hope to hear from a new Dandy Warhols song in 2016."   

"Catcher In The Rye" is now available to share/post and you can watch it here: 



The Dandy Warhols' newest album Distortland was released earlier this year on Dine Alone Records.   Fresh off a sold-out tour of Europe and the UK the band are once again touring the US and Canada with dates both this month and in December. The October run concludes with a 2-night stand at The Scoot Inn in Austin TX on October 14 and 15 and December sees the band playing at Los Angeles' The Fonda Theatre on December 16.   Further, The Dandy Warhols will be touring Australia October 26 through November 5.  All dates are listed below. 

"pop hooks abound on (the album)" Consequence of Sound 

"Distortland (is) such a damned welcome sound for sore ears" Magnet

a hypnotic strut of a song, that never quite peaks so much as lures you with singer Courtney Taylor-Taylor's vocals low and lulling in the mix. They're urging you to lean in that little bit closer."  Noisey on "STYGGO

"Everything about the new tune, from the instrumentation to the lyrics, comes off as effortless, but the simplistic hook is memorable enough that heads will surely nod." AV Club on "You Are Killing Me

"the song sports a chugging guitar riff and an earwormy hook"  Diffuser on "You Are Killing Me"  

"the choral hook will surely have you turning back again and again." Austin Town Hallon "You Are Killing Me"


Formed in Portland, Oregon, The Dandy Warhols consist of members Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Zia McCabe (keyboards), Peter Holmström (guitar), and Brent DeBoer (drums).   Distortland was first recorded in Taylor's basement on an 80s cassette recorder with the band putting on the finishing touches in a studio. Jim Lowe - best known for his work with Taylor Swift and Beyonce - mixed the album.  Courtney notes that the end result is an album that is "organized like a pop record but still has the sonic garbage still in there."
