“Mis Amigos”

10:28AM ON 08/21/2008
BY Beth Comery

The Dandy Warhols If you have a playlist named ‘Party Time’, ‘Beach Blanket Bingo’, or maybe ‘Weed’ you need to get this song on it now. The new cd by The Dandy Warhols is loaded with great new jump-up-and-down songs, but this one is definitely my 2008 summer anthem. Just try and sit still listening to this. They are playing up in Boston in September, but it’s at the Wilbur Theater… seats! How can you sit in a seat and listen to this band? It’s not physically possible. Will somebody please book this band in a club for me?

In the recent issue of The Agenda a gentleman by the name of ‘Area C’ bemoaned the dearth of medium-sized bands touring through Providence. Amen to that. If you want to see avant garde noisemakers, or some folkie plucking away at a glockenspiel with a pitchfork, you can find that no problem. And there is the overblown crap at the Dunk and Gillette. But what about the bands in between? Why did I have to go up to Boston to see Earl Greyhound, Mute Math and Louis XIV to name a few? I miss The Met something fierce.
