The Dandy Warhols are back and ushering in a rockin’ return to form with Earth To The Dandy Warhols, the band’s debut album as masters of their own destiny. Pulling together the diverse sounds and influences that have always characterized their music, it’s quintessential Dandys, and it’s set to be self-released this summer via the Dandys’ newly minted Beat The World Records.
But you don’t have to wait until then to hear the new tracks! Beginning today, May 5, the new album is featured in over 10,000 AMI Jukeboxes across the nation. May 5th also marks the re-launch of the Dandy Warhols website: visitors will be treated to a free download of the opening track, the party-starting “The World The People Together (Come On).”
The good folks at Stereogum also premiered the track today, calling it a “bouncy, percussive, smeary group lift-off.” [click here]
And, as if that’s not enough for one day, the Dandy Warhols are putting on an event at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco to celebrate, complete with a Dandys-equipped AMI Jukebox and Cinco de Mayo fare, not excluding free tequila by Hornitos. Zia from the Dandys will be manning the decks, and Peter and Brent will also be on hand.
WHEN: MONDAY, MAY 5, 5pm – 10pm

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 gives you the space to fully settle into it while still keeping you on your toes. The band reached out to some of their many friends, too, inviting Dire Strait’s Mark Knopfler and the Heartbreakers’ guitarist Mike Campbell to join in on the rollicking “Love Song.” Earth To The Dandy Warhols is a stunning platform into a new era of the Dandys’ career, and places the band firmly in the ranks of rock’s elite class.
The Dandy Warhols will kick off their 2008 touring extravaganza with a Pacific Northwest run in June, followed by European Festival dates in July, and a fall North American tour.
