#138 / 90s Guitar Bands - The Dandy Warhols

Joining us for episode 138 is none other than Peter Holmström from the The Dandy Warhols! We chat about the band’s journey from the early 90s Portland scene to global success, their influences, the reality behind the stories, and what it was really like being part of that era!And of course, we get into Dig! that legendary documentary that followed The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre over several chaotic years. It’s raw, messy, and totally unfiltered, capturing the highs, the meltdowns, and everything in between. Peter shares his side of that story, what it was really like being in the middle of it, how accurate the film actually is, and what it missed. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know how wild it gets and if you haven’t, you probably should!This weeks sponsor! https://www.royalwhitby.co.uk/offers/events/Stupid & Contagious STORE https://stupid-contagious-podcast.myshopify.comWelcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!Please also subscribe and follow the podcast on the social media links belowStupid & Contagious PodcastItunes https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/stupid-contagious/id1705645715Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXYSVnQ6NVFd3WGs9dspVAmazon Music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/af953bc7-3c3a-421c-bc6a-17bbe4c07819/stupid-contagiousAll the Socials! https://linktr.ee/stupidandcontagiousFacebook https://www.facebook.com/stupidandcontagiouspodcastYoutube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfPJ5FhcYAHO7UhrRtTtgGwInstagram https://www.instagram.com/stupidandcontagiouspodcast/MIXTAPE https://open.spotify.com/playlist/02kAC0kH2i4gJROKYrjOEW Hosted on Acast.
