Hedford left in 1998 and was replaced by Taylor-Taylor's cousin Brent DeBoer. The band's name is a pun on the name of American pop artist Andy Warhol.
The band gained popularity after they were signed to Capitol Records and released their major label album debut ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down in 1997, featuring the popular single "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth". In 2001, the band rose to international attention after their song "Bohemian Like You" was featured in a Vodafone advertisement. The band have released eight studio albums to date and are currently in the process of recording their ninth album, This Machine, which is due to be released in February 2012.
The Dandy Warhols along with The Brian Jonesotwn Masacre wanted to make a revolution in music, a reborn attempt at psychedelic rock, but a bit more mellow this time around. The Dandy Warhols made it big while the Brian Jonestown Masacre didn't.
