The Dandy Warhols to perform at benefit for US marijuana legislation reform.

David J will also spin tunes at Playboy Mansion event

Jun 2, 2009


The Dandy Warhols are set to perform at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles on Thursday (June 4) in support of reforming US marijuana legislation.

The event will be hosted by actress Fairuza Balk and will also feature a DJ set by David J of Bauhaus and Love And Rockets, as well as a magic show, fire dancing and a live auction to benefit the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), which aims to remove criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people.

When asked why his band decided to take part in the event, Dandy Warhols frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor told NME.COM: "We have a lot of stoners in our band so to have marijuana still be illegal is ridiculous. As a recreational chemical it's a lot less dangerous than alcohol. There are a lot of countries where it's perfectly legal and they get along better than America. Plus it may be our only chance to go to the Playboy Mansion and hang out," he added.

This year’s event will celebrate the Marijuana Policy Project’s victories in the marijuana policy reform movement. Members of the MPP Advisory Board include actor Jack Black, comedians Bill Maher and Adam Carolla and wrestler/politician Jesse Ventura.

That night rocked!! That band not that bad, more my sons speed. But the night was GREAT!,enough said.

The Dandy's are a great band. Did the female keyboard player get topless? She has been known to expose her breasts in concert. This would have been the ideal place to do it.
The chicks there must've been AMAZING !

That would be Zia McCabe... not sure if she still gets topless these days during gigs or not. Heard she got married, but don't know if it tamed her.

If she were still doing the topless thing, I'd imagine the Playboy mansion sure would be the place to do it.
