The Dandy Warhols are an American 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.
Combining psych-rock, shoegaze, power pop, synth pop, and more with the cheeky detachment of their
pop-art namesake, the Dandy Warhols are equally skilled at heady reveries and satirical pop. Early on, they scored hits with "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth" (from their 1997 major-label debut, The Dandy Warhols Come Down) and "Bohemian Like You" (from 2001's Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia), both of which skewered hipster culture with a wit that suggested they were America's answer to Brit-pop.
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 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the film Igby Goes Down. Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia featured a less overdriven sound, with less overt psychedelia and more stylings in common with the power pop genre.
To make their fourth album, Welcome to the Monkey House, the Dandy Warhols worked with with Nile
Rodgers, Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes, and Evan Dando. After Capitol turned down the original mix by Grammy-winning soul music engineer Russell Elevado, the final version of the album featured a synth pop and new wave-influenced mix by Rhodes. Upon its release in 2003, it went to number 118 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and spawned another hit for the band, the synth-disco jam "We Used to Be Friends."
Following live shows that included supporting David Bowie on a leg of his 2003 A Reality tour, the
band remained prominent in 2004 thanks to Ondi Timoner's documentary Dig!, which chronicled the love-hate relationship between the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre and won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at that year's Sundance Film Festival. Also in 2004, the band released The Black Album, their name for their rejected Capitol debut, and the compilation Come on Feel the Dandy Warhols as a double-album set on their own label Beat the World Records.
The Dandy Warhols returned with new music in 2005. Odditorium or Warlords of Mars, an expansive
return to the band's psych rock roots, appeared that September, peaking at number 89 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. The band's sixth album, and first for Beat the World, 2008's Earth to the Dandy Warhols, featured collaborations with Mark Knopfler and the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell; the album reached number 128 on Billboard's 200 Albums chart and spawned two remix EPs.
In 2012, the Dandy Warhols resurfaced with their eighth album This Machine, a more subdued set of
songs that hit number 88 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, a career high for the band. On January 29, 2016, the band announced their ninth studio album, Distortland. It was their first release for Dine Alone Records. Their 10th studio album, released in January 2019, titled Why You So Crazy.

NOT IF YOU WERE THE LAST JUNKIE IN TONY'S BASEMENT LYRICS
I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe
But today,
if you think that I don't know about depression and emotional pain
You're insane,
or you're a fool who hasn't paid attention to a word that I say
In a way,
I can't help but feel responsible,
I always knew that you were insane
With your pain, but I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey
Herion is so passe, hey, hey
Aaaah
So passe nowadays
You never thought you'd get addicted,
just be cooler in an obvious way
I could say,
shouldn't you have got a couple piercings and decided maybe that you were gay
In a way, I can't help but feel responsible,
I always knew that you were insane
With your pain,
but I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey
Herion is so passe, hey, hey
Ah ah ah ah, aaah, aaah, aaaah
Ah ah ah ah, aaah, aaah, aaaah
Ah ah ah ah, aaah, aaaaaaah
Heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey
Heroin is so passe, hey, hey
Ah ah ah ah, aaah, aaah, aaaah
Ah ah ah ah, aaah, aaah, aaaah
Hey hey hey hey heyyy, heyyy, heyyyyy
