The Dandy Warhols played the Taste of Randolph Street Festival this weekend, albeit sadly, for only one song. \u00a0Courtney Taylor-Taylor,\u00a0Peter Holmstr\u00f6m, Zia McCabe and Brent DeBoer took the stage around 9pm on Saturday night and tried to make the most of it, but after only about 10 minutes, had to call the show off.<\/p>\n
Taylor-Taylor\u00a0announced that they were being told they have to shut it down. \u00a0A representative from the festival took the mic and said that the weather was taking a turn for the worst and very soon would be there. \u00a0Just as those words finished coming out of his mouth, the rain came down. \u00a0And how it did. \u00a0Buckets come to mind. \u00a0Everyone ran to the nearest shelter to get out of it, but many had nowhere to go.<\/p>\n
There was a brief discussion if they would go back on stage if the storm passed or subsided, but that notion was squashed quickly as the lightning took command of the skies creating it’s own stage show. \u00a0Even the former Sears tower couldn’t escape the wrath of the hammer of the gods as it was struck at least 3 times in the short burst.<\/p>\n
The Dandy Warhols have no further tour dates scheduled for Chicago at this time, but that could change in the future as they are working out the logistics of it. \u00a0It’s a little difficult now with\u00a0DeBoer\u00a0living out of the country and all the\u00a0side projects going on. \u00a0Plus they want to start working on the new record ASAP according to Holmstr\u00f6m. \u00a0But check back with In The Loop Magazine for more details later. \u00a0If they announce anything, we’ll for sure let you know.<\/p>\n
