Since you're interested in a Dandy Warhols review, you might be something like me: you've heard of the Dandy Warhols, but never really listened to them. This means you'll have your "ah-ha" moment streaming "Bohemian Like You" on Spotify. Go ahead, I'll wait. Listened to it? Great! Now we can speculate wildly about why indie record store employees were all over these guys--their recommendations collectively creating the impression the Dandy Warhols were influential...

It was - not so coincidentally enough - 13 years ago that The Dandy Warhols released Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. The band's third album, it catapulted them from being Portland hipster-slackers to Portland hipster-slacker superstars almost overnight, mainly thanks to ubiquitous single (and mobile phone/car ad soundtrack) Bohemian Like You. All these years later, that song's tongue-in-cheek ironic irreverence remains as catchy as ever, oddly untainted by a decade-plus of being overplayed...

My first and really only experience (until now) with the Dandy Warhols can be relegated to an anecdote: it was the year 2000 and I had gone over to the house of a mutual acquaintance amongst my friends for some chit-chat and a few drinks before heading off to a movie. While we were there, the guest put on the then-new Dandy Warhols album, Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, and it played in the background while we sat around in a circle in the living room on sofas and chairs, taking our sips of...

It's probably in the second fifth of Alternative Power To The People (Track 4) that you finally surrender to disappointment. Sad Vacation, the opener, is the quintessential Dandy Warhols track; crackling and distorted; relentless and determined. The Autumn Carnival evolves out of a downbeat arpeggio and punchy rhythm to deliver vocals in the usual deadpan manner, then Enjoy Yourself grunges into life...

At the turn of the century, US indie rock band The Dandy Warhols turned in one of the definitive anthems for Strokes-loving, skinny-jeaned boys and girls who were 'down with vegan food' and liked to tousle their greasy Glasto locks down at the indie disco...

After they basically perfected their stoner-psych sound on 2000's mildly concept-y breakout and then turned it on its head with the synth-based , The Dandy Warhols seemed to decide that reassembling each album around a new totem or ideal was the best way forward. and worked because they had a sense of humour as well as good songs-crucial to balance the band's faintly ridiculous, ambiguously actual self-regard-and felt true to their slacker roots...

The Dandy Warhols are a binary construct: one tends to either bop their head mindlessly to the band's typical froth of laid-back PDX neo-psychedelia-cum-miniature-krautrock or else ignore them entirely. There's really nothing about their recording career -- now approaching two decades -- that's very much memorable, aside from impending honorariums for longevity. They have been the definition of a consistency that rankles simply because it takes so few chances with formula...

No one does a better job of making The Dandy Warhols unlikable than The Dandy Warhols. Over the course of 17 years and eight studio albums, the Portland-based group has reigned over its own too-cool-for-school universe where Velvet-worship never gets old and a feud with the similarly solipsistic Brian Jonestown Massacre--documented in the 2004 documentary Dig!--seems compelling...
