Following a triumphant 2024 with the release of their overwhelmingly critic-hailed twelfth studio album ROCKMAKER featuring Frank BlackSlash, and Debbie Harry, a packed-to-the-gills national tour, and a completely sold out West Coast 30th Anniversary-as-a-band string of dates, Portland’s iconoclastic and always surprising alt-rock band THE DANDY WARHOLS are returning to the road for a handful of East Coast shows that kick off on May 9th at Asbury Park, NJ’s Stone Pony and wrap with a handful of NYC dates at Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge

Included in the dates is an intimate, acoustic-ish late afternoon performance on Saturday, May 17th at the sexy Two Fifteen Lounge in NYC’s Public Hotel, preceding their show the same evening at Bowery Ballroom. Loose and loungey, the cozy event will allow fans to sip signature cocktails and rub elbows with the band (and get autographs and pics too!) before and after a very special and rare stripped down performance.

Tickets are on sale Friday, February 28th at 10:00am.  The dates are:

Serving as a heady balance to their rousing studio albums, their blistering live shows are the stuff of legend. On reflection on last year’s Boston, MA show, the Boston.com hailed “the band wrapped its audience in a sonic blanket that had an almost hypnotic warmth at times.” Parklife DC said of their Washington, DC show, “the quartet maintained their classic psych rock roots but dove into even a grittier edge that borders on post-punk and even goth.” The Spill Magazine said about their Toronto show, “The Dandy Warhols electrified the Toronto stage with a performance that exuded sheer power and badassery right from the get-go… Their unparalleled talent and chemistry create an experience unlike any other.” 

As a special treat for fans who have followed the band since the mid ‘90s and the newer fans who need to catch up, the band debuts their new video for “Love Thyself” from ROCKMAKER. A surreal journey that trails the band’s exciting and adventurous approach to music videos. he short film continues the band’s embrace of A.I. video technology as a tool to artistically and creatively render their vision, instead of re-constructing it.
