The Dandy Warhols
 

i did a search and couldnt find anything on them here.

Im kind-of liking some of their stuff. "The last high" and "we used to be friends" are cool and catchy.

What do you guys think?

ive only ever liked 1 song by them. its from the crazy/beautiful soundtrack.

The stuff I heard was madly overproduced and nothing special.

the name of the song is Sleep

A major label art band. If they just gave up all thier cross genre attempts and focused on their 'unbearable lightness of failure' cool they'd do well.

I do like quite a few of their songs.

I`ve liked this band for what seems like forever.

But......

They`ve still yet to convince me as far as albums go. I think they`re a fantastic singles band but none of their albums have really grabbed me as being that great.

Awww i haven't listened to these since i was a wee little chubby kid, i love this band, hehe.

I've got their album with the Bohemian Like You song on it, and after hearing that poppy-rocky song I considered the rest of the album is really, really strange.

i was talking to this dude at my highschool and apparently the guitar player for them used to date his older sister, and sometimes babysit him..i just found it kind off funny

I have the "Tales from Urban Bohemia" album and I think it's great.
the song "Shakin" reminds me of Lou Reed.
Haven't got into much other stuff of theirs though.

I heard Bohemian Like You and The Last High .. the songs were pretty nice.

Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia is pretty good, though, like Urban said, they're not all too inconsistent. The first three songs are great though, and flow really well, and then, you know, Bohemian Like You is pretty catchy.

I forgot they released an album about 18 months ago.

Then I remembered it was Odditorium / Warlords of Mars and I remembered how I nearly cried when I heard it because it was so awful.

If there`s one band that should avoid going prog rock it`s this one :(

Have you heard the Monkey House one (I forget what it's called)? I've been thinking of downloading it.

It`s not as great as the others , probably the best you can expect when you consider the keyboard player from Duran Duran produced it.

Gotcha...

hahahaha so true

I saw them live a while ago. The singer was so high I think he was struggling to sing and play guitar at the same time.... It was definitely one of the most disappointing concerts I've been to.

How can a topless keyboard player be dissapointing?

Let the record show that I was listening to Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia yesterday when I got my first acceptance letter from a college.

Record? What record? Are you some kind of paranoid schizophrenic? Are you on drugs?

That would've made the show a little less disappointing....but she had her top on.

I'll always love the Dandy Warhols regardless of what their output is just because I grew up listening to them, but really... This is probably my second favorite song ever. Hard to imagine that they used to make this kind of music.

i heard about them in a magazine, never really looked into it too much, what type of genre are their and they any good?

Their earlier stuff is more psychedelic/shoegaze and kind of pop rock. Their newer tunes seem to be a little less organic sounding and since dropping off of Capitol they've lost a lot of recognition.

If you're new to them, I'd start with their album Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia and work your way back. The Dandys Rule, Ok? is my personal favorite but there are gems on all of their albums.



Great track from Thirteen Tales!

I understand the criticism of these guys. But I kind of of like em. They kind of have a popified Velvet Underground sound to them.

I liked them at first. but they get annoying really quickly.

they're a good band...but is there any creativity without drugs?

I'm definitely with you on this one. But the ones I do enjoy, I pretty much LOVEEEE.

Well, I know responding to this post now is pointless but, I'd have to disagree with you. The only thing connecting the two would be having Andy Warhol somehow involved being it inspiration for a name or having him boast your music around. Oh, and also, VU was very much pop like post Cale years... bu-dum-ba-dum.
