Photos: Seratones, The Dandy Warhols @ Phoenix Concert Theatre
Waves, sunshine, big mansions, and early morning dancing in your polka dot boxers, favourite ironic graphic tee, and bathrobe.
This is the first thing I think about when I think of The Dandy Warhols and if you didn’t know, the above description is what happens in The O.C. when Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) dances to “We Use To Be Friends”. It’s also one of the songs I anticipated the most when The Dandy Warhols performed at the Phoenix Concert Theatre on Friday, April 8th.
They did, in fact, play that song and I was completely satisfied after that dose of nostalgia on a Friday night. But that one song surely wasn’t the only highlight of the night. They also played a ton of great tracks from their discography including “Holding Me Up” (Odditorium or Warlords of Mars), “Bohemian Like You,” and “Godless” (Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia). Not to mention, the band celebrated the release of their ninth studio album Distortland with Toronto that night.
Let’s not forget opening act Seratones as well. They completely blew me away with their soul-infused rock as frontwoman AJ Haynes exploded with energy hyping up every soul in the venue. It’s unquestionable that these Louisiana rockers will be an unstoppable force in years to come with their fantastic musicianship and AJ’s spunk.
It was a great show. Now where's my early 2000's Paul Frank shirt to mope in for the rest of this gloomy Monday?
