Earth to the Dandy Warhols

I have Portland, Oregon's The Dandy Warhols' first three albums, plus miscellaneous singles, which probably classify me as an "old" fan, as I will confess I have not kept up with the band post-Welcome to the Monkey House. Last Tuesday marked the band's eight album, ...Earth to the Dandy Warhols... (if you count the double-album The Black Album with Come On Feel the The Dandy Warhols)! What's important about this album is that this is their first album that they've released on Beat the World Records (their own label?), since leaving major label Capitol Records.

Skybombers at the Triple Rock, Minneapolis (08/04/08)

To be honest, I wasn't supposed to be at this show, but already having missed Skybombers the first time around when they opened up for X, I felt I had to turn up to support these guys this time around at The Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis. Usually these Triple Rock shows have at least three bands (hence: triple), but Monday night, they were overbooked with FIVE bands.
