The Dandy Warhols announce US tour dates

Band to play Italian-themed Christmas shows next month

The Dandy Warhols have announced details of a forthcoming American tour.

Set to play three Italian-themed Christmas shows next month, the band revealed their reasons behind the gigs.

"We are on a mission to convince Christendom that Italy does it best," the band said on their website – TheDandyWarhols.com. "We like to take a different approach to Christmas: a little more Old World and a lot more jaunty," they added.

For the shows the band will be bringing a slice of Italy to what they call the "dreary environs" of north west America, with a show in Seattle and two in Portland.

The Dandy Warhols will play:

Seattle, Washington Neumos (December 11)
Portland, Oregon Wonder Ballroom (12, 13)

The Dandy Warhols' version of 'Primary' existed before our Cure covers campaign, but Robert Smith was keen we included it in the mix.

This week's NME is a special boxset edition featuring the free CD of Cure covers, plus a Kings Of Leon poster and a 20% off Bench voucher. Pic: Dan Howarth
