Wondering who's hitting this at 9:30 Club on Sunday. I have shows Monday & Tuesday, so haven't decided if I can make a Sunday night show as well.
Dandy Warhols roll call
is it sold out?
Not yet…if it sells out, that's my answer. Kind of why I'm trying to figure this out today so I can get over to the box office. A $25 ticket is one that should be used (versus a $10, say, which leaves more room ofr missing the show).
me me! and 242 Monday.
Dandy, are you a big Warhols fan?
i hope that's rhetorical.
It ends up I can't make the show - if anybody wants two tickets at a discounted rate please see my post in the ticket exchange section of the forum.
How was the opening band the Out Crowd? Worth checking out at Millenium Stage for free?

Didn't see the openers… but I will tell you that the Dandy Warhols played a long ass set… I got there at 10pm and they had started… they didn't get done until almost midnight. Was all a bit hit and miss. A lot of the new stuff doesn't sound great live. The band seemed to have a good time on stage; but I was bored a lot of the time.

Originally posted by pdx pollard:Pretty sure they didn't… if they did, I must have been asleep for it. There were some really long tracks (~7-9 mins) though, so be warned.

I thought the show was great. A perfect mellow end to a long holiday weekend.
They didn't play Fast Driving Rave-up, but they did end the main set with one of the longer spacier jams from the new album.

They did play a very rocking rendition of "Little Drummer Boy." I thought this show was better than the last time they were in DC and at 930. I also really like the Outcrowd. For fans of the Dandys or the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Dandys rocked out last night, crowd never really got into it. I think Courtney's nonchalantness emanates through their audience. I heard they get pretty high/drunk and mess up live shows but that didnâ??t happen.
I personally enjoyed the show despite the deadness of the crowd. Plus we were next to a rather rowdy bunch. The xmas encore was a nice surprise. There were some slower parts which helped to mix up the set with the more rocking tunes I thought. I also liked the psychedelic background visuals of women and men gyrating. And we gotta give it to Courtney for keeping us entertained while Zia kept running out to do her business. Not complaining about the nice length of the set either. Since I didn't make the last sold-out show, I can't compare the two.
I thought it was a nice treat to see a two hour set. DC crowds seem to be pretty subdued. Which is kind of a bummer when going to see shows here. It is always nice when the crowd and band get moving. I wish I knew what that was all about. I grew up in DC in the area in the late 80s before moving west in the 90s. The DC scene then seemed pretty burgeoning and rowdy. A lot of fun. This is by no means a rip on DC, I just wish I could figure that out. Granted this is a generalization from one perspective. So take it all with a grain of salt. I also enjoyed the outcrowd and think I will try and get over to see them at the Millenium stage today at 6:00 pm. I hope the Clutch show proves to be raucous.
