The Dandy Warhols '...Earth to The Dandy Warhols...'

dandywarhols.jpg

The Dandy Warhols are back with their sixth LP, Earth To The Dandy Warhols. Earth To… marks the band’s debut as masters of their own destiny, powered now by their own label, Beat the World records. Pulling together the diverse sounds and influences that have always characterized their music, this is quintessential Dandy's, full of the same dry vigor that’s made them world famous. Earth To The Dandy Warhols is set for release on August 19, 2008.

From the Some Girls-era Rolling Stones-meets-Talking Heads “Welcome To The Third World,” to the campy “Mis Amigos,” to the psychedelic rock of “Beast of Saints,” Earth To The Dandy Warhols is pleasure of a ride that allows you to fully settle into it while still keeping you on your toes. The band reached out to their friends, too, inviting Dire Strait’s Mark Knopfler and the Heartbreakers’ guitarist Mike Campbell to join in on the rollicking “Love Song.” “The Legend Of The Last Of The Outlaw Truckers AKA The Ballad Of Sheriff Shorty,” is a 21st century take on outlaw country that has Courtney Taylor-Taylor growling melodically over dusty guitar riffs.

The Dandy Warhols kick off their 2008 tour in support of the album with European Festival dates this summer and a fall North American tour. Check them out in you town. Support band is Portland's The Upsidedown.
