Portland, Oregon, United States (1993 – present)

Often compared to the druggy psychedelic pop of the Velvet Underground, the Dandy Warhols do possess more than just a passing resemblance to Lou Reed and company at times, but elements of such modern rockers as Love and Rockets and Ride can be detected in their sound as well. Formed in Portland, OR, during 1994, the Dandy Warhols consist of members Courtney Taylor (vocals, guitar), Zia McCabe (keyboards), Peter Holmstrom (guitar), and Eric Hedford (drums), who signed on with the independent label Tim/Kerr shortly after their formation. In 1995 came the release of the quartet’s debut release, Dandy’s Rule OK?, and while other rock bands may be a bit hesitant to spell out their influences, the Dandy Warhols decided to openly advertise it, as the album contained such song titles as “Lou Weed” and “Ride.”
Capitol Records signed the group the same year, but the Dandy’s new label rejected a second album they submitted (claiming it didn’t have any “hits”). Disappointed but undeterred, the group reunited once more with the producer of their debut album, Tony Lash, and came up with Dandy Warhols Come Down, issued in 1997. While the album didn’t exactly establish the group as a household name, it did prove to be an underground fave (especially in Europe, where the group became the toast of the critics and enjoyed more substantial commercial success), while the single “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth” received some attention, for which a promo video was filmed by renowned celebrity photographer David LaChapelle. At the height of the band’s popularity, Hedford left the band to take up DJing in Portland, and Taylor’s cousin Brent DeBoer stepped in to play drums.

Not sure how anyone could hate the new album, since they dropped capitol records they sound freer and open. Great mix of styles from song to song.

I used to love these guys so much... but the last three albums have been about 80% garbage. They are trying too hard... trying to sell out yet remain the integrity... and it just isn't working.

yeahh they remind me of the Velvet Underground. they're amazing. it's a shame the Velvet Underground isn't listed as similar artists. I don't know how last.fm finds similar artists but they need to start doing a better job at that for all the artists on last.fm.

Hey, we have been working on a new Dandys site and we are hoping that it is nearly “there.” Now, it is not customary to show off a work in progress, because no one likes to submit their not-so-best to the interweb peanut gallery…
