The Dandy Warhols — The Dandy Warhols Are Sound

The Dandy Warhols firmly believe they should be the biggest band in the world, or at least the most important. Unfortunately, the general public has generally disagreed despite some brief flirtations. And for a brief moment in 2003, there was a sense this pattern might change. Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia gave them a taste of the critical...

The Dandy Warhols — ...Earth To The Dandy Warhols

I have lost all patience with The Dandy Warhols. At least when Anton Newcombe makes awful, self-indulgent, meandering, messy records, you know it's because he's genuinely fucked in the head. But The Dandys are just a group of posturing wannabes sequestered in their pseudo-hippie art commune, consciously trying to sound like they're...

Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack

Even though zombies are just the dead reincarnated as staggering lost souls, it doesn't mean that the soundtrack that they do it to has to be lifeless as well. Giving a bunch of current semi-hot bands (including The Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols and Death Cab For Cutie) the job of covering some '50s doo wop and pop seems, at least, interesting...

The Dandy Warhols — Odditorium

Odditorium should be a relief for fans who were turned off by the Duranie silliness of Welcome To The Monkey House. While it hasn't totally shed the misguided artistic whimsy of the previous album (such as the childish throwaway "Did You Make A Song With Otis" and the wanktastic second half of "Love Is The New Feel Awful"),...

The Dandy Warhols — Welcome To The Monkey House

For their fourth album, The Dandy Warhols trade the garage guitar that made them famous for synthesizers and bloopy noises, as well as production from Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes. It’s a fine turn of events and, even with the jump into new wave territory, The Dandys are still cocky and whip smart, with fierce pop sensibilities. The first single,...

The Dandy Warhols — Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia

Not matter what amount of striving or social climbing you try to do, odds are you'll never be as cool as The Dandy Warhols. In Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia they skewer the very elitist art rock culture they're so inextricably linked to. And despite the fact they take the piss out of their own little poser world, you'll be damned...

I Read The News Today... For Sept. 24, 2010

Sesame Street's made a True Blood parody, which they've dubbed True Mud. As one CHARTattack contributor said, "Looks like they found another use for that Jon Hamm puppet." Despite this, Katy Perry's hooters are apparently too racy for the show. The Dandy Warhols have announced a huge North American fall tour. Doucheyness is contagious,...

Pumping: The Dandy Warhols — Odditorium Or Warlords Of Mars

Holy shit this record sucks. Man, the Dandys sure did a good job of pissing in our faces with this one. Hey Courtney, here's a tip: you're not David Bowie and you're not Lou Reed. In the history of rock 'n' roll you're probably ranked below The Sweet and Warrant in terms of total cultural impact. Stop being a dick.
