The Dandy Warhols at the 9:30 Club
Sunday 11/27/05
Fun show. Crowded and jostley as usual, and a few too many loud drunks in our immediate vicinity, but the Dandys were in good form. I don't know too much of theirs beyond the "Monkey House" LP and what I heard in "Dig," the great documentary about them, but they did "You Were the Last High" and "We Used to Be Friends"... people were yelling stuff at them and they didn't seem to mind.. Courtney said, "Are you telling us what to play now? Don't worry, we've got all that worked out.. That part is totally worked out." He was wearing what looked liek a Nazi officer's hat..
Somebody yelled for them to play "Plan A" and Courtney said, "Man, we can't play Plan A anymore.. we just don't know it anymore. We played it when we were on the Bowie tour, but it's complicated and now it's like we can't even do it... We tried it a while ago and we just fell apart.. Rock music, man, it's like trying to pass handfuls of water, sometime things are just not there."
Somebody yelled out a question about Anton (their nemesis in "Dig" from the Brian Jonestown Massacre) and Courtney said, "Anton's great, we're gonna be in New York tomorrow and Anton's gonna have us up to his place for dinner."
At one point he started playing a kazoo.
they seemed quite pleased to be there... Zia McCabe and Courtney were bantering a lot, Zia said all bands love to come to the 9:30 because the crowds are great, she said this was the best show of their tour... She kept leaving the stage to go pee, and at one point Courtney was mocking her and asking if there was a "urologist in the house." He also asked if anyone in the crowd smoked weed. "If you do, just throw some up here.. Do you have a good throwing arm? Throw it.. I mean, we are, like, totally dry right now."
As she left the stage, Zia yelled, "Rock on, motherfuckers!!"
