With their brand-new album, Earth To The Dandy Warhols, which hit
stores in North America on August 19, the Dandy Warhols are bringing
their extraordinary live show to fans across the US and Canada.
The band will be supported by LA pysch-rockers Darker My Love for most of
the fall tour, as well as their newly-signed labelmates the Upsidedown
on all dates.

The Dandy Warhols have already established themselves as musical
icons with their songs “Bohemian Like You” and “Not If You Were The
Last Junkie On Earth,” but Earth To The Dandy Warhols, their sixth
full-length and first of many on their own label, Beat the World
Records, raises them to a new platform. This is classic Dandys,
of course, and songs like “Talk Radio” and “Mission Control” continue
to reaffirm the band’s position in alternative rock annals, but the
album also sees the band moving into repertoire-broadening territory,
from the tongue-and-cheek and very Dandy-esque take on outlaw country,
“The Legend of the Last of the Outlaw Truckers AKA The Ballad of
Sheriff Shorty,” to “Love Song,” which features Dire Straits’ Mark
Knopfler and the Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell, and of course, the
opener “The World Come On,” which was made available for download
on May 5, courtesy of a Stereogum premiere.

Also of note to those in The Dandy Warhols’ home base, the Portland
show, initially planned for June 21 at the Roseland Theater, has
been rescheduled for October 5 (same venue). The band’s European
tour kicks off at the top of July, and due to unforeseen circumstances
with gear routing, the equipment must ship out of Seattle on June 21.
All tickets purchased will be honored at the October 5 show. Refunds
are available at point of purchase for those who cannot attend the
rescheduled show.
