Week Sixty-Eight: The Dandy Warhols - "You Were the Last High" - Welcome to the Monkey House

This week, I am going to cover songs by the bands, Curve and The Dandy Warhols, both of whom I saw play live at The Galaxy Club back in July of 1998

So, as I have previously mentioned, from about November of 1999 to about November of 2000, I played in a local Electronic/Synthpop band. The coolest thing about being in a band, for me at least, was that I got to be on the same stages as so many other great bands who came before me. In fact, I got to play both Trees and the Galaxy Club, the exact two places where I saw The Dandy Warhols.

Unfortunately, since The Dandy Warhols were so squished on the Galaxy Club stage, their energy level was nowhere near what it was when I first saw them play at Trees.

As I have also previously mentioned, at one point, one of our biggest fans created a website for us that had our music and some pictures available. He set it up in 2000, and I'm guessing that his rights to the domain name expired in 2010 because the website was no longer in existence as of that year.

A close friend of mine thought he had downloaded all of the photos prior to the website shutting down, but all he ended up copying was the thumbnail images. Regardless, I'll share them with you.

The two below where my hair is bleached blonde (what the hell was I thinking?!?!?) are from the Galaxy Club show where we opened for The Last Dance from California:

And the two below where my hair is purple are from Trees... but I cannot, for the life of me, remember who we played with at that show:

I am alone but adored

By a hundred thousand more

Then I said when you were the last

And I have known love

Like a whore

From at least ten thousand more

Then I swore when you were the last

When you were the last high

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh-igh

You were awake

And I should've stayed

But wandered

I was only out for a day

Out for a day

It was Chicago for a moment and then

It was Paris and London for a few days

But I am alone but adored

By a hundred thousand more

Then I swore when you were the last

When you were the last high

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh

When you were the last high

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh

I was the first to have spoken

And I said just about

All of the things you shouldn't say

So maybe you loved me but now

Maybe you don't

And maybe you'll call me

Maybe you won't (oh)

So I am alone but adored 

By a hundred thousand more

Then I said when you were the last

And I have known love 

Like a whore

From at least ten thousand more

Then I swore when you were the last -

When you were the last high

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh

And you were the last high

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh-igh

Igh-igh
