The Dandy Warhols are at Riot Room tonight

Four years ago, I interviewed Courtney Taylor-­Taylor while he was touring in support of the Dandy Warhols’ 10th album and “best of” compilation, The Capitol Years 1995 – 2007. Our conversation then was like most of the Warhols’ catalog: vastly entertaining and wildly tangential. We talked about books and eating organic (the Warhols are from Portland, Oregon), and Taylor-­Taylor gave a vivid account of the best Bordeaux he had ever drunk.

After 20 years, the band has little left to prove. In March, the Warhols released a live album, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia: Live at the Wonder. This recording is the live-show experience of the band’s seminal third album and a wonderful slice of 1990s nostalgia. The Warhols’ show Friday night at the Riot Room is an excellent excuse for a trip down memory lane if you can get a ticket. (The show is sold out.)
