The Dandy Warhols are a psychedelic-rock band from Portland, Oregon. They gained international attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s with their distinctive blend of 1960s-influenced psychedelia and modern alternative rock. In 2005, the band was nearing the end of their contract with Capitol Records, and "Odditorium or Warlords of Mars" would be their final album with the label before moving to [PIAS] Recordings.
