The Dandy Warhols are an American psychedelic/{{nowrap|alternative rock}} band, formed in Portland, Oregon, in 1994 by singer-guitarist Courtney Taylor-Taylor and guitarist Peter Holmström. They were later joined by keyboardist Zia McCabe and drummer Eric Hedford. Hedford left in 1998 and was replaced by Taylor-Taylor's cousin Brent DeBoer. The band's name is a play on the name of American pop artist Andy Warhol.
The band gained recognition after they were signed to Capitol Records and released their major label album debut, ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down, in 1997. In 2001, the band rose to new levels of fame after their song "Bohemian Like You" enjoyed extensive exposure due to being featured in a Vodafone advertisement. The Dandy Warhols were the subject of the 2004 documentary film Dig!, along with San Francisco psychedelic outfit The Brian Jonestown Massacre. They have released 12 studio albums, two compilation albums, six EPs, and 27 singles to date.{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-dandy-warhols-are-sound-mw0000821450 |title=The Dandy Warhols Are Sound – The Dandy Warhols

Taylor-Taylor described the band's beginning as a group of friends who "needed music to drink to".{{cite web |last=Dib |first=Lisa |title=Interview: The Dandy Warhols |url=http://www.webwombat.com.au/entertainment/music/dandy-warhols-interview.htm |year=2008 |website=Webwombat.com.au |access-date=August 24, 2011}}
Early in their career, The Dandy Warhols performed in bars throughout Portland and became well known for their nudity-filled live shows.{{cite web |url=https://www.dandywarhols.com/news/a-review-i-liked/ |title=A Review I Liked « The Dandy Warhols |last=DeBoer |first=Brent |author-link=Brent DeBoer |date=August 25, 2010 |website=Dandywarhols.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100909053825/http://www.dandywarhols.com/news/a-review-i-liked/ |archive-date=September 9, 2010 |url-status=live |access-date=September 23, 2012}}{{cite video |title=Dig! |type=Motion picture |year=2004}} At their first gig in 1994, they were approached by record label Tim/Kerr, who offered to pay for the recording of an album.{{cite web |last=Kleinedler |first=Clare |date=September 8, 1997 |title=Lounging Out with The Dandy Warhols |url=http://www.slabtown.net/articles/article_atnlounge.html |work=Addicted to Noise |access-date=October 12, 2011}} The result was 1995's Dandys Rule OK.

=''Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia'' and mainstream popularity (1998–2001)=
In 2000, the band released their third studio album, Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia. It was a critical and commercial success, due mainly to the single "Bohemian Like You" being featured in a popular Vodafone advertisement as well as on the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The song has also been featured in the animated movie Flushed Away in a chase scene, and on the soundtrack album for the film Igby Goes Down.{{citation needed|date = August 2023}}
Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia featured a less overdriven sound, with less overt psychedelia and more stylings in common with the power pop genre.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}}
Around this time, Taylor-Taylor took out a loan to acquire an industrial warehouse space in northwest Portland, dubbed "The Odditorium" and occupying a quarter city block. The Odditorium is the band's eclectic rehearsal space and recording and mixing studio. It also serves as an art space and clubhouse for parties and other events. It opened on November 15, 2001.{{cite web |url=http://www.dandywarhols.com/news/warhols-portland-pad-open/ |title=Warhols Portland Pad Open |last=Gothman |first=Sean |date=November 21, 2001 |website=Dandywarhols.com |access-date=September 27, 2011}}

Becoming a fan of the band after seeing them play at the Glastonbury Festival in 2000,{{cite journal |title=Phone Home |journal=Mojo |last=Harris |first=John |date=June 2003 |url=http://www.slabtown.net/articles/article_mojophone.html |access-date=March 10, 2012}} David Bowie personally selected The Dandy Warhols to play at the 2002 Meltdown festival. Bowie and the Dandys played a rendition of The Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat" together as an encore to the July 29 gig, which was billed as The New Heathens Night.{{cite web |url=http://meltdown.southbankcentre.co.uk/2002/events/double-bill-the-new-heathens-night-david-bowie--the-dandy-warhols/ |title=Double Bill: The New Heathens Night: David Bowie/The Dandy Warhols |date=June 29, 2002 |website=Meltdown.southbankcentre.co.uk |access-date=September 27, 2011}} The band also supported Bowie on his 2003 A Reality Tour.{{cite web |url=http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/tours/2003.htm |title=David Bowie 2003 Concerts |date=June 2003 |website=Bowiewonderworld.com |access-date=September 27, 2011}}
In September 2001, the band began work on their next studio album. The result was Welcome to the Monkey House, released in 2003. Produced by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, the album featured a major shift towards a 1980s-influenced synthpop sound.
The album was spearheaded by its first single, "We Used to Be Friends", which went on to become one of the band's most popular tracks, gaining exposure through use as the theme song for the American cult television show Veronica Mars, as well as an appearance in The O.C. Two further singles, "You Were the Last High" and "Plan A", were released in promotion of the album. This song was also featured in EA Sport FIFA 2004.
=''Dig!'', and other developments (2004)=
Along with band The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols were the subjects of the 2004 documentary film Dig!. The film captured a love–hate relationship between the two bands, highlighting the interaction of Taylor-Taylor and BJM frontman Anton Newcombe. It was recorded over the course of seven years by filmmaker Ondi Timoner, and won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
In the same year, the band released a double album, comprising The Black Album – the album recorded before ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down that was rejected by Capitol Records and also dismissed by the band themselves – and Come on Feel The Dandy Warhols, a collection of B-sides, cover versions and unreleased songs.
The Dandy Warhols appeared in the 2004 film 9 Songs, performing a live rendition of the song "You Were the Last High" as one of the film's titular "nine songs".

The Dandy Warhols started work on their next studio album in mid-2004. The result was Odditorium or Warlords of Mars, released the following year. It was partially named after and recorded in the band's own studio, The Odditorium.
Odditorium or Warlords of Mars was largely a return to the psychedelic, guitar-orientated rock of ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down, moving away from the synth-heavy sound of their previous album, Welcome to the Monkey House. Two singles were released from the album: "Smoke It" and "All the Money or the Simple Life Honey". The album received a mixed response from music critics.
Around this time, the band contributed to the soundtrack of the video game Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse with a cover of "All I Have to Do Is Dream" by The Everly Brothers.
On July 17, 2006, the band released a stand-alone single, "Have a Kick Ass Summer (Me and My Friends)".{{cite web |url=https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/have-kick-ass-summer-me-my/id166054744 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120628031106/http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/have-kick-ass-summer-me-my/id166054744 |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 28, 2012 |title=Have a Kick A*s Summer (Me and My Friends) – Single by The Dandy Warhols |website=itunes.apple.com |date=January 2006 |access-date=March 2, 2012}} The song was later re-recorded as "Mis Amigos" for their 2008 album ...Earth to The Dandy Warhols... It was later featured in the downloadable song pack for the Xbox video game Dance Dance Revolution ULTRAMIX 4, and was also re-recorded as "Mis Amigos" for their later album ...Earth to The Dandy Warhols. In 2007, the band recorded the song "Good Luck Chuck" for the 2007 film of the same name. It was released as a digital single.

In an interview from 2010 with the Australian Daily Telegraph tabloid newspaper, Taylor-Taylor was quoted as saying: "We're terrible at business, terrible. We don't know what we're doing. It's like trying to have children run a household. We need to hook up with some indie label."[http://www.dandywarhols.com/news/interview-fine-and-dandy/ Interview: “Fine and Dandy” « The Dandy Warhols ✩ Official]. Dandywarhols.com (2010-07-07).
