The Dandy Warhols

The Forum, Melbourne

Renowned for their epic live performances, both sonically and visually, The Dandy Warhols returned to Melbourne’s Forum for their 30 Year Anniversary and to promote their brand new album Rockmaker.

Melding psych-rock, power pop, and synth pop with a satirical, pop-art sensibility, The Dandy Warhols are as unique as they are pioneering. Playing all hits including “Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth”, “Bohemian Like You”, “We Used To Be Friends”, they ruled the last years of the 90’s and were often cited as America’s answer to Brit Pop & tonight they proved why they are a mainstay.

The band’s new single “The Summer Of Hate” is 100% typical Dandy’s; that unmistakable groove, Courtney’s Lou Reed like croon, and an effortless psychedelic vibe that just oozes cool.
