Zia McCabe (born Aimee Springer; June 2, 1975) is a musician and realtor. Do you still feel you’re “the most well-adjusted band in the US”? I hear that defiance in the richness of the record’s textures, which Paste described as both “weird” and “fun.” How would you define that balance between defiance and fun with regards to the band’s current creative mode? And how do you feel about the film all these years later? You made a Spotify playlist recently called “Why You So Crazy and Its Rock, Goth, Electroclash and New Wave Roots.” I love the wide range of influences on there. That’s how you tell a story right, you pick the darkest bits and you throw them out there against the parts for deep contrast. I don’t know if we suffered more than we gained, that’s up for debate and depends on who you ask, but everyone’s past it now. It feels like we’ve struck the balance that we’ve been looking for between travelling and being at home and working enough to feel fulfilled but not working so much that we feel spent. Zia McCabe Interview Keyboardist, bassist, and vocalist Zia McCabe began her musical career in 1995 when she joined The Dandy Warhols. The Dandy Warhols are celebrating 25 years together this year. to present the following interview with Zia McCabe : keyboardist, bassist, back up vocalist, rock and roll mom and quite a legend as a member of the rock band The Dandy Warhols . Thinking about this year and next year is about as much as any of us can handle. It was nice. Fingers crossed that the rest will eventually get theirs back from PledgeMusic. But it seemed like it was okay. The loyal fans supporting the artists that they love is what keeps the artists making the art that they want – it’s hard to keep that going. Our next step is to re-offer the bundles on a platform of our own, which I believe we’ve started the process to be built. Every time I get a new boyfriend I inevitably end up watching it with them because it’s just easier that way! There’s the driving rock ’n’ roll of “Be Alright,” and I can definitely hear the krautrock on “Thee Elegant Bum,” and then we venture into country territory again on “Sins Are Forgiven” and later the earworm “Motor City Steel.” “Small Town Girls” feels a bit punk to me, a bit lethargic, in the same narrative vein as “Motor City Steel.” “To the Church” and “Next Thing I Know” are weird and experimental in all the best ways.

As the years have gone by there’s been more contribution from the other members, from either bringing in songs or co-writing with Courtney. Our aim is to provide a single platform that acts as a stage for the voicing of varied, topical and interesting opinions, people and companies which make up the fabric of America. We’ll wrap up celebrating our 25th year, which is something we had all collectively committed to seeing through no matter what came up in the rest of our lives. When we first started travelling I was ready to entertain the idea of living in other cities and other countries, but the more I travelled and the better it felt every time to come home I realised I would probably never actually leave Portland permanently – maybe if our government got so horrible we couldn’t be Americans any more – but outside of that I wouldn’t leave Portland permanently. Michelle Obama would probably be an amazing dinner guest. We’ve been pals for a while and I caught up with her recently to chat about things, not least among them the stellar new Dandys album. This past April, I sat down with Zia before their show at Ace of Spades in Sacramento. And less partying – sometimes there’s an open bottle of wine or people having some beers but there’s just no crazy bus ragers like there used to be. We’re doing what we’ve always done. The fact that they have maybe fewer conflict resolution skills or more mental illness or more substance abuse travelling through the membership of the bands is one thing, but that the music has never stopped being great is the other thing and that’s incredible.

And then “Ondine” really completes the record with the beautiful piano lines mirroring the somber mood of the very vaudeville intro. So, knowing that that’s a real risk, it was nice that we were committed to getting through the 25th year. She graduated from Battle Ground High School in Battle Ground, Washington in 1993.

It’s Dave Grohl’s favourite rockumentary, he says he shows what a real train wreck being in a band is. It’s been said that you guys might create your own pledging platform in the future, direct to your base, or offer exclusive downloads to those who gave to the aborted campaign. We made it more psychedelic and a little more rock than it was in my country band.

Festival Editor and mentor to new team members - I'm also a music photographer and reviewer. I’ve always admired the music of The Dandy Warhols, and they’ve delivered again with their new record Why You So Crazy, out now on Dine Alone Records, a solid 40 minutes of what, to me, sounds overall like avant garde goth pop in the best ways, the perfect record for the band to kick off their 25th anniversary. Was it a conscious decision on the part of the band to reach back into the past and make what is really, for as fun as the record is, in other ways a sort of melancholy and nostalgic record? And every time I laugh and it’s all nostalgic, but I also cringe and feel kind of embarrassed. I’m trying to enjoy my smoothie and answer some easy questions. Do you use any computers?
