SPILL NEWS: THE DANDY WARHOLS AND KULA SHAKER HIT THE ROAD TOGETHER THIS FALL

THE DANDY WARHOLS AND KULA SHAKER HIT THE ROAD TOGETHER THIS FALL

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, JUNE 13 @ 10:00AM LOCAL TIME

This Fall, THE DANDY WARHOLS will kick off a Western U.S. run of dates with British psych rock legends KULA SHAKER as their special guests, bringing together two psych rock greats from both sides of the Atlantic. The Dandy Warhols will launch on September 22nd in Salt Lake City and September 23rd in Denver before connecting with Kula Shaker in Texas for a round of dates leading to the West Coast.

“We’re extra excited about this upcoming tour with Kula Shaker because we love that band and we’re going to have a really good time hanging out with them,” says Courtney Taylor-Taylor of Portland, OR-based The Dandy Warhols.

Adds guitarist/vocalist Crispian Mills of London, England’s Kula Shaker, “We’ve always dug the Dandy Warhols’ tunes and their stonesy vibe, not to mention their work with the Velvets and their defining contribution to Pop Art. It’s going to be a blast travelling around with them! We can’t wait!”

The Dandy Warhols’ Rock Remaker EP (released on May 16, 2025) featured remixes by Ride, Trentemøller, A Place To Bury Strangers, and Night Club of tracks from their critically-hailed 2024 album ROCKMAKER which featured Debbie Harry, Slash and Frank Black. “I absolutely love remixes, someone else’s interpretation, or complete destruction of a song,” says Peter G. Holmström (guitarist/keyboardist). Called “a haze of smashed reverb tanks and tape-melted fuzz-pure sonic noir” by Dosage Magazine and hailed by ReGen Magazine as “a grittier, more chaotic interpretation of The Dandys’ sound,” the EP reinforced the band’s reputation of being equal parts unpredictable and electrifying.

A formidable live force to be reckoned with, The Dandy Warhols have consistently earned rave reviews for their performances. Boston Globe hailed that “the band wrapped its audience in a sonic blanket that had an almost narcotic warmth at times.” Parklife DC said of their Washington, DC show, “the quartet maintained their classic psych rock roots but dove into even a grittier edge that borders on post-punk and even goth.” About the Toronto show on March 12, The Spill Magazine says, “The Dandy Warhols electrified the Toronto stage with a performance that exuded sheer power and badassery right from the get-go… Their unparalleled talent and chemistry create an experience unlike any other.”

Currently in the midst of a whirlwind of activity in 2025, Kula Shaker recently released the single “Charge of the Light Brigade” which Jammerzine calls “a retro-tastic stance in the stanza with bravado and flair from a set of truly original musicians,” while Northern Exposure says the band is “more powerful than ever … a sonic power that’s thrillingly new and yet, at the same time, contains an aura that is so nice and ageless.” Having just wrapped up a tremendous UK tour with Ocean Colour Scene, Kula Shaker is gearing up for a handful of summer festival dates and more new music and more live dates in the U.S. to come (stay tuned for more announcements soon!).

IT JUST FEELS LIKE WE’RE A LITTLE MORE IN CHARGE – A CONVERSATION WITH CRISPIAN MILLS OF KULA SHAKER

Excited for the Fall tour, Mills replies, “We tend to offer an assortment of live goodies. Songs like “Govinda,” ‘”Tattva,” and “Hush” [from their platinum-certified 1996 album K] are always a joy because they never get tired. They just run and run, like good German motor cars. Must be some kind of enchantment. Whether old or new, the songs have to stand up and be counted. We have a brand new one called ‘My Lucky Number’ that tallies well in this context.”

In addition to viewing this tour as a fitting cap on the 30th anniversary of their debut album Dandys Rule OK (1995), The Dandy Warhols plan to take a much-needed break from the road. “After these dates, we’re not going to tour for a few years, which we have never done,” Taylor-Taylor concludes. “So it is a bit of a last hurrah.”

The Dandy Warhols is Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Peter Holmström (guitar, keyboards), Zia McCabe (keyboard, bass, percussion), and Brent DeBoer (drums, backing vocals).

Kula Shaker is Crispian Mills (guitar, vocals), Jay Darlington (Hammond organ), Alonza Bevan (bass) and Paul Winter-Hart (drums).
