Fans of modern psychedelic rock are going to be in for a real treat when The Dandy Warhols and Kula Shaker come to town.
Truth be told, we try never to miss a Dandy Warhols gig in the Bay Area — and, really, it’s probably been a couple decades since we did — because we absolutely dig this Portland act’s intoxicating mix of different rock styles, brilliant songwriting and, in general, unflinching coolness.
The group has released a pair of the best albums of the last 30 years — 1997’s “The Dandy Warhols Come Down” and 2000’s “Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia” — and are still putting out intriguing new music (see last year’s “Rockmaker”). Plus, they’ve got one our favorite guitarists in the game — the mighty Peter Holmström.
