At long last, Earth natives
The Dandy Warhols returned to their homeland to release
...Earth to the Dandy Warhols. Here's a little background info for those of you who don't know what's happened to the Dandys in recent years.
Back in 2000, the band released their third album,
Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia. It was different from their older sound. A little less rough and a little more electro-poppy. But we Dandys fans could dig it; we still liked good rock. Here's where it gets weird. Sometime between then and their 2003
Welcome to the Monkey House, The Dandy Warhols were stolen by Douche aliens from another Galaxy. These Douche aliens thought it would be funny to muck up the Dandys good name by pretending to be them, and releasing all sorts of douche rock (excluding
The Black Album (2004, originally recorded in 1997) and
Come on Feel the Dandy Warhols (2004, B-Sides collection)).
It wasn't all too obvious at first. Those damn aliens played their cards right, and their instruments all wrong. 2003's
Welcome to the Monkey House, was perceived by many as simply a bad album, and not an intergalactic kidnapping. After 2005's
Odditorium Or Warlords Of Mars, however, many devoted Dandy Warhols knew something was up, and immediately took to the skies. We started trying to reach the rocking prisoners out in space. We cried "Earth to the Dandy Warhols" and "Save us from this wretched rockage!"
Here we are in 2008, and it seems that the Earth Dandys have heard our cries (or one of them at least). They battled those douchey aliens for nearly 8 years, before the douches succumbed to the power of rock.
...Earth to the Dandy Warhols is the album that Dandys fans wish had been released after
Thirteen Tales. It rocks like the real Dandys, and I'm sure it was partially recorded in space. Check it!
