The Dandy Warhols are an American alternative rock band formed in Portland, Oregon in 1994. The band was founded by singer-guitarist Courtney Taylor-Taylor and guitarist Peter Holmström, with 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.
The band gained popularity after they were signed to Capitol Records and released their major label album debut ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down in 1997, featuring the popular single "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth". In 2001, the band rose to international attention after their song "Bohemian Like You" was featured in a Vodafone advertisement. The band have released nine studio albums to date.
The band was formed in Portland, Oregon in 1994 by Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Peter Holmström. Soon after, drummer Eric Hedford joined, and following an unsuccessful experiment with Taylor-Taylor's girlfriend on bass guitar, keyboardist Zia McCabe joined the band after Taylor-Taylor saw her working in a coffee house. Taylor-Taylor described the band's beginning as a group of friends who "needed music to drink to". The Dandy Warhols performed in bars throughout Portland and became well known for their nudity-filled live shows. At their first gig in 1994, they were approached by Tim/Kerr Records, who offered to pay for the recording of an album. The result was 1995's Dandys Rule OK, which combined elements of 1960s garage rock and 1990s shoegaze music.

Lascivious, it's all that I can think of as I drag my feet
Searching like a Diogenes
Dangerous, the adjective of the decade
And of your alluring intricacies
Yes I see your green screen mentality
And I feel the sting of it's consequence
And I know I shouldn't
But it's too much to ignore, an emotion I deplore
Every time I look at you
I just wanna do it
I can clench my fist right through it
But I just wanna get off
Rectilinear, the direction we've been heading
Never realizing we are on a runaway machine
Angular, the momentum that does turn us one step further on our ladder
One more turn toward the east
I realize your green screen mentality
And I know it is shared by many more
And I know it's quite impossible
But I am damned to find a way, to revolve the other way
Every time I scrutinize I just say screw it
On a ride down a blind conduit
And I just wanna get off
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
