It seems only yesterday that I was in University rocking out to the albums Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia and Welcome the Monkey House. The Dandy Warhols were one of the biggest indie bands around in those days, fresh off a few massive hits, including the defining Bohemian Like You (still a dance floor staple at most indie clubs) and one of the better hand clap songs out there (We Used to be Friends). It seemed like the world was full of possibilities.
It’s now been a decade since that time, and the Dandy’s are still at it. They never quite reach the levels that most people would have projected for them in their hey days, but they are still here, plugging away at it. Their latest album, The Machine was released in April and appears to be a less electronic heavy album than their previous effort Earth to the Dandy Warhols.
Luckily, you can get a taste of all of the Dandy’s discography when they come to town on June 3rd. Courtesy of Live Nation, we have a pair of tickets to give away. To enter, do one of the following.
