THE DANDY WARHOLS 25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR COMES TO CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK!
LOS ANGELES (MAY 16), SAN DIEGO (MAY 17), SF (MAY 18) & BOTTLEROCK/NAPA (MAY 24)
NEW ALBUM “WHY YOU SO CRAZY” OUT NOW ON DINE ALONE RECORDS
“The weirdest thing about it being our 25th anniversary is it doesn't feel like 25 years. Feels like about six. Or five,” muses frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor. Keyboardist/bassist Zia McCabe can’t help but wonder about the complications of building a set list around an entire career as opposed to an individual album; “Oh man, how are we going to fit something from each album into our set? Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out and it will be legendary. Get ready for a massive concussion of rock and roll that’s been a quarter of a century in the making.”
Whether you dig them gritty or glittery, their recently-released new album 'Why You So Crazy', delivers on all fronts, careening through classically off-kilter psych-pop (‘Be Alright’), high country-fried Americana (‘Motor City Steel’), and gothic piano-propelled rumbas (‘Forever’). You can expect to hear choice cuts from this album, as well as classics from their stellar back catalog of greatness!
The Dandy Warhols are:
Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Zia McCabe, Peter Holmström, Brent DeBoer
