Portland band The Dandy Warhols is currently on tour promoting their new album “Distortland”. The Dandy Warhols consist of members Courtney Taylor (vocals, guitar), Zia McCabe (keyboards), Peter Holmstrom (guitar), and Brent DeBoer (drums). Distortland was first recorded in Taylor’s basement on an 80s cassette recorder with the band putting on the finishing touches in a studio. Jim Lowe – best known for his work with Taylor Swift and Beyonce – mixed the album. Courtney notes that the end result is an album that is “organized like a pop record but still has the sonic garbage still in there.”
They will be at the Varsity Theater on 9/23. Tickets are still avaiable HERE
Supporting them will be Nashville’s Savoy Motel, an intensely orchestrated hybrid of glam rock, boogie, soul, power-pop, garage, punk, dance music and showmanship.. all rolled into one. Members include bassist Jeffrey Novak and drummer Jessica McFarland who were both in Cheap Time, along with guitarists Dillon Watson and Mimi Galbierz who played in Heavy Cream. Their vibe & live show have quickly made fans; from the likes of The Guardian who say they “sound like a compendium of great, garish 70s pop moments” and Pitchfork who described them as “a promising, genre-busting introduction” plus many more.
