THE DANDY WARHOLS – DISTORTLAND TOUR

AT MERCURY BALLROOM

Tuesday, April 19

** TICKETS ON SALE NOW! **

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, Oregon in 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 August of 2008 they released Earth To The Dandy Warhols, their sixth full-length album, on their own label Beat The World Records. Released initially as part of a subscription service that also gave members access to the exclusives through the rest of the year, the album was followed by a successful world tour. On July 14, 2009, Beat The World released The Dandy Warhols ARE Sound, the previously unheard "Director's
Cut" of 2003's Welcome To The Monkey House.
In 2013, the band rang in the 13th anniversary of their breakout third album, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, by heading out on the road to perform the album live. The tour resulted in the bands first ever live album, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live at the Wonder, which was released the following year. The band continues to tour the country, bringing their unique sound to new and old fans at every show.
