The Dandy Warhols svarte leserne hos Dagbladet.no.

(Dagbladet.no): Med hits som «Bohemian Like You» og «Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth» etablerte The Dandy Warhols seg som et av alternativrockens aller største band i Europa på tampen av 90-tallet.

Men i hjemlandet USA har ikke publikum brydd seg nevneverdig. Før nå.

Mye av årsaken ligger nok i den særdeles kritikerroste dokumentaren «Dig!» (se trailer her), som vant juryprisen under fjorårets Sundance-festival.

Her følger man The Dandy Warhols og kompisbandet The Brian Johnstown Massacre i særdeles severdig tragikomisk dokumentar om dopkonflikter, sjalusi og kameratskap.

- Filmen fikk mye presse, men vi er bare i avisa hjemme i Portland hvis Bowie er i byen og snakker om oss. Den eneste som er berømt i Portland er filmskaper Gus Van Sant. Og trommeslageren i Weezer, utdyper frontmann Courtney Taylor-Taylor i et nytt intervju med The Guardian.

12. september slippes bandets nye skive «Odditorium or Warlords of Mars». Skiva beskrives som noe mer «back to basics» enn den 80-tallsflørtende forrigeskiva «Welcome To The Monkey House».

Førstesingel fra albumet er «Smoke It», og videoen kan du se på bandets offisielle hjemmeside.

Fredag er The Dandy Warhols en svipptur innom Oslo, og tar seg tid til å svare på spørsmål fra Dagbladet.nos lesere.

Er den nye plata deres beste? Hva syns The Dandy Warhols om måten de blir framstilt på i «Dig»? Hva husker bandet fra tidligere besøk i Norge?
Husk at du må stille spørsmål på engelsk!

Hello Courtney Taylor-Taylor!

    I am just curious; have you considered to give up your carreer as an artist yet? I mean; you're old, ugly and seem to have lived the "Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll"-life too LONG. Once upon a time you sang "Heroin is so passe" and I digged it. But now, you should only realize this : YOU are passe!
    Innsendt av: Eirik
you are a sad sad person. we are having a great time dude. too bad for you loser. ha ha ha ha


 

I dig you!!
    You're one of the coolest bands ever:) You took my breath away with "bohemian like you", it still happens that I am singing on it while walking around in the house or so. I'm working in a record store, so I listen to your older albums all the time:) Hope you have a nice day, and good luck to your newest album, I will try to sell the most of it in my store:)
    Innsendt av: Charlotte
cool. where is your store? write on brent@dandywarhols.com

Hi Dandy
    Hi Dandy, I saw Dig!, and I must admite, it`s the best rock doc. I`ve ever seen and I also discovered the great music of both you and The Brian Jones Massacre. So thank you, I`ve now got a slight feeling that Rock`s not dead.

    Lars

    Ps. please don`t do any more phone commercials
    Innsendt av: Lars P

Concerts
    Hey

    I am a huge fan of your albums, but i saw you live once, and i thought it was a big dissapointment. You have all the hits to make a great concert, but you seem very uninspired on stage. Do you not enjoy giving concerts?
    Innsendt av: Pål
yes.
 

Dissolved
    Hey I Thought you guys broke up last year. Is that not true? (of course it isnt otherwise you would be here, where did that rumour come from?). Question: how come your music is so slow?`Your songs are rearly up-beat. Is "Maryjane" the influence?

    Innsendt av: Shickakaka

Cheer up my brother!
    My brother has at the age of 28 suddenly discovered you guys as a band and is buying everything he can find. He's having a hard time in his life too, lately, so it would be good if you guys could take a trip to Bergen, the most beautiful town in Norway and have a concert here... I can fix a good venue... What do you say? :D

    Innsendt av: Ingvild

    Hey there, i guess you must be feeling pretty dandy today.

    I have a list of highly questionable questions which you may or may not feel a great urge to answer for me. Well, shall we get to it then....?

    1. Does the movie DiG! represent Anton Newcombe (singer in brian jonestown massacre) in a correct way?

    2. How do you feel about the new album having leaked and being available for download on the internet so long before it is released?

    3. Does the taking of various drugs play a major part when you write songs?

    4. What type of music will the Dandy Warhols make in 2025?

    5. What's your favorite BJM record of all time (and space)?


    Well thats it, good luck, new album is nice :)
