Dandy's
by Lolita23 on 7/14/09Glass House - PomonaGood show, they know how to rock. I hadn't heard their new stuff, which they played a lot of, but it sounded really dope. Still don't like the song Minnesoter!

About
Formed in Portland, Oregon, the Dandy Warhols released their first full-length album, Dandy's Rule OK?, in 1995, a unique mix of quirky pop, power guitar and clever lyrics. The group attained more widespread success, especially in Europe, with the release of their second album, Dandy Warhols Come Down, featuring the popular single "Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth." With a new drummer onboard, the group released their third album, Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, to much acclaim in 2000. The track "Bohemian Like You" became a favorite among indie rock listeners and appeared on numerous film and television soundtracks, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Six Feet Under. 2003 saw the release of the group's fourth album, Welcome to the Monkey House, co-produced by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. The synth-heavy, new wave-influenced album was conceived as a tribute to Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s short story collection of the same name. The group returned to more guitar-driven songs with Odditorium or Warlords of Mars, released in 2005.

by MDPAL on 7/14/09Glass House - PomonaThe Dandy's are a band in need of a really good manager- and maybe a drug councilor. When they are on- they are on- and they shine brighter than any other band I know of. But left to their own devices, they go off in directions musically that may sound good to them- but sound like crap to most everyone in the audience. They have produced some of the best unheard pop music on the planet- yet they still are in search of an audience. The show we saw started at 10pm. The Dandy's checked out the opening band, the Meeks- I got a picture of my wife with a very messed up looking Courtney Taylor Taylor. He came off of playing at the Playboy Mansion the night before- and was still pretty toasty. Anyway- they came on- played most of their catalog- no encore. The sound was pretty bad- the highlight was Simple Life- it was the one they put the most energy into. Never realized how much the brass on that song mattered. They didn't play Scientist which was a drag. The rest of it was a lot of backfeed, that even if I was stones, I am not sure I would have enjoyed.
