i'm a huge beach boys fan and always thought they were very quick to crap on brian wilson the moment he wasn't making them huge cash.as far as the dandy's, i'm not saying their music is very introspective or complicated, but they are an awesome party/jam band! every album from any band has a few throw aways. not a big deal.
yes, courtney and anton are very similar in their huge ego's. so, both are partly to blame for not living up to their potential.
but i still think the dandys put out some bad-ass pop tunes in the 90's and up to 13 tales in 2000. totally capable catchy tunes that should have made them huge in the states. not to mention you have a band full of good looking, funny people. courtney is easy on the eyes for the girls and his humor is kinda like rufus wainwright. very dry and smart-assy. and zia...oh she is soooo hot! she looks like Pink (especially in the early days) and she used to play topless. sounds like a good plan to me ;-)

And I'm totally in agreement. The Dandys are a supreme party band. From the opening note when they play live, they create a unique feel-good vibe in the room...ESPECIALLY when Zia played topless! She's one of the cutest to have ever graced a stage, for sure.I always thought Courtney was the perfect front man. Handsome, charismatic, even mesmerizing. However, when I read that they played an entire tour and refused to play their hit single, I thought it careless. Good for them that they made it, though. A lot of people around the world like them.
Now, how about another amazing Portland artist who has never made it big: Eric Matthews. A songwriting master a la Burt Bacharach.
