Courtney Taylor-Taylor (The Dandy Warhols): David Bowie, Bohemian Like You & the Oregon Symphony

On this episode of Stage Vault, Courtney Taylor-Taylor — frontman of The Dandy Warhols — opens up about what actually happens inside a performer during 30+ years of shows: the readiness that never quite becomes autopilot, the physical grind of playing sick or hungover, and the two nights performing with the Oregon Symphony that he calls the most powerful music experience of his career. He also tells the story of singing "White Light/White Heat" alongside David Bowie at the Meltdown Festival, reflects on what "Bohemian Like You" still feels like 25+ years into playing it live, and talks through Pin Ups — the Dandy Warhols' new covers album, spanning The Cure, The Clash, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Violent Femmes — and what it means to inhabit someone else's song onstage. *Photo by Nicole Nodland* Stage Vault is a podcast about the interior experience of live performance: not the catalogue, not the career — what's actually happening inside an artist that the audience never sees.
