Photos: The Dandy Warhols at The Vic

Last Friday's show was easily the best we've ever seen The Dandy Warhols play. In the past their shows could be incredibly self-indulgent, but that vibe was completely absent Friday night. The whole band seemed honestly appreciative to be performing in front of a sold-out crowd and all four members were obviously enjoying themselves. Even the usually stand-offish frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor was downright chatty with the crowd. Maybe now that they're on their own, and completely free of Major Label-land, they no longer feel like serfs being sent out to perform their master's bidding, and instead are honestly happy to be in front of their fans.
