I f&cking love this interview SO MUCH. I have witnessed many artist/musician interviews over the decades from artists whose music I have enjoyed more than the Dandys, though I have been a semi-casual admirer of the Dandys for some time. I utilize hyperbole very seldom. That said... This might be my favorite interview of all from ANYONE. A moving discourse. The depth, eloquence, compassion, wisdom, humor... Zia is so introspective, honest, candid, self-aware, intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence; the stories, stories of someone's experience humaning (yes, as a verb) at this time while in a popular rock band and the personal grounding that often entails, the endearing pride she demonstrates in raising her daughter... Too many glorious highlights to list here. Witnessing this discourse made my night handily, but the benefits - its energies - the inspiration, I can carry with me onward. Thank you Tanya for simply allowing Zia to express at her own pace and degree, not interrupting, and so on. 💚
Zia, you & me both. I couldn’t stand grunge for the exact reasons you mention. When I saw “Not if you were the last junkie” on a hotel tv in New Orleans, I knew the Dandys were my band, and you are still my #1 band to this day. Thank you for keeping the Dandys about the beauty ☕️
Great interview. Thank you. As a self taught musician myself, been playing for over 30 years being a drummer and vocalist. Its flipping hard especially now. I have a day job to help to keep my living. Just. My passion is playing drums. I love this channel. Thank you.
Tanya, Zia & Dandys Rule! This was a great interview. I thought the questions were interesting & I loved hearing Zia’s stories. The interview really flowed, beginning to end. Thank you for sharing!
This is a brilliantly hosted interview that largely steers clear of the usual inanities and reveals Zia to be, as i'd long suspected, not only a goddess, but the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Zia's so damn cool...I approached her and Peter after the Dandy's show in Houston last year and told them how much I enjoyed the show, and she couldn't have been nicer, signed my tee, and was nothing but gracious and friendly.....it's so cool when you meet your heroes and they ARE as cool as the image they portray.
Yes, a great interview. Zia shows so much happiness while playing on stage with Dandys, she is a true person, she can be proud to practice music in a very "artistic" band !! j'ai toujours du plaisir à la voir sur scène. From Brittany France. Thanks a lot.
I am so excited to have stumbled up on this interview. I developed a crush on her back in highs school when I first saw that Dandies video on Last Junky, and completely forgot about them after that. What a beautiful person she has grown to be!
Funny and cool how much she sounds like Jenny Slate at times! :) I'm always so afraid to see interviews with people I'm a fan of, often discovering they're... disappointing. So glad to discover Zia is smart and clever and a decent person!! ^_^
I legit understood what she said about technical well adjusted artists versus the long-suffering maladjusted artists. I am apparel designer/pattern maker by trade and always been very technically inclined. My younger sister was definitely one of those starving artists that were maladjusted and definitely was very creative
Maladjusted is pejorative. Very often these folks are neurodivergent and have mountains of prejudice and misunderstanding to contend with on top of heightened senses.
She maybe the most well adjusted human on the planet from that interview. Talk about having your shit together and a healthy perspective on all things.
Zia is awesome on the key bass. Shakes the auditoriums to their foundations. Some of the older theatres in the UK I've thought bloody ell is the roof gonna hold!!! Great band, though. 👌 ❤
love her energy and musianship :) i just saw the dandies in sf oct 14th and it was a doze fest...she was the only one who was rockin....... she was the whole show really, sang a janis song acapela at the end and invited the crowd to kiliowatt bar........ still, the men in the band were asleep....
I was a huge fan up until I watched Dig! I felt like they were pretentious dorks. I saw them on 13 tales and had it out with friends of the band over the southern flag on the cover. I didn’t like their music after 13 Tales. This interview restored my love for the band and shows Dig! Only captured and portrayed that story. What a fun and interesting person! DANDYs Rule Ok! Come Down holds a special place in my heart and is great to this day. They should have been huge from that album. Capitol
I totally agree. While I do love some of their music, most of it is unlistenable (to me). I also saw Dig! and the Dandies really fell out of favor with me as well. Yes, I still love a few of their songs and that will never change, but Zia was so nasty with some of her comments regarding BJM. What disturbs me, is I've heard her say it could have been way worse (referring to her comments).
I’ve seen both them and the BJM. Certain tracks on Come Down were such perfect points - Boys Better, Every Day, Be-in, Good Morning, Not if… perfect psychedelia. Still absolutely dig these tracks at high volume. Not into later tracks - they just don’t grab me.
No. Anton became part of a scene already developed by band like Camper Van Beethoven, Maximillian Motorcycle Club, American Music Club, Donner Party, Pavement, Cake, early Jellyfish as well as the shoegaze bands copying what was coming out of England: Lush, My Blood Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain. Even the Paisley Underground scene had a movement in Sac, the Bay Area and LA just a few years before. I'm the same age as Anton and he wasn't in the Bay Area scene until the 90s....alt-rock was becoming mainstream. The Dandys were a bit after but companies were snagging these psychodelic shoegaze bands as well as Deftones, Papa Roach, Korn too. There were a lot of punk bands playing the East Bay Punk Gilman St music who took off just being around. Anton is a goofy adderall type who also got picked up regardless of their musical talent.
good strategy to be extra nice to record company employees, sorry it didn't work because of turnover. wonder if there were other strategies that would have been successful. i suppose the first rule is to have good music (not saying dandy's don't). Just like they say the first way to get youtube views is to have good content
I hurt my knee dance funny that everything isn't coming with you. That's cute. I had strict parents. I love Zia Records so much. I love a variety of music. Especially Punk old punk
She's totally correct about not wanting any "Interventions without consent" in regards to water fluoridation in Portland! A cause I certainly stand behind! But I wonder what her stance is regarding the mass coercion of Covid vaccination. I know a lot of people who lost their careers due to not submitting and a lot of other people who did submit but now thoroughly regret it.
I was wondering that as well. As for fluoride, they used to give it to us in cups in grade school once a week in San Francisco Bay Area . I don’t know if they had to get our parents’ consent, but I will say I only ever had one minor cavity and have all 32 teeth in great shape. No complaints here.
I stopped at 2 minutes in after she said her sister is lesbian and has a trans partner. So she's a lesbian but got with a man who transitioned into a female? Way too much WTF in there for me to wrap my head around.
What a sexy, positive, beautifull girl. It's everything i like in women, wish i had to meet such a girlfriend. Love her energy, she's so chill and energetic at the same time.

Such a great example of how sometimes it's not about what you know, but how you fit and work together.

Zia is super cool! I had the opportunity to meet her after her band played in Detroit. She is 100 percent down to earth and relatable!
1st live gig I ever seen 24 years ago ❤ always and still have the biggest crush on ziam 😊 good times 🕺
Zia's so damn cool...I approached her and Peter after the Dandy's show in Houston last year and told them how much I enjoyed the show, and she couldn't have been nicer, signed my tee, and was nothing but gracious and friendly.....it's so cool when you meet your heroes and they ARE as cool as the image they portray.
Great interview. Always thought there was something special about her from the time I saw the
first Dandy's video. I was right on the money!!
Great interview! Smart, level-headed, informative, and most of all, interesting.

One of the four dynamos in a top fantastic group;) Bravo!
Absolutely excellent and enlightening interview!

Well, well, well, this is a lot different from "What's your favourite colour?" Loved it.
Great interview
Great interview!

She is one amazing woman
Awesome interview, Zia rules !
Fascinating interview!
TOP stuff. Real, interesting and extremely human. Thanks to both of you. XX
Lovely! Great hearing Zia's stories. Thank you.
What an insightful and brilliant interview.
love her energy and musianship :) i just saw the dandies in sf oct 14th and it was a doze fest...she was the only one who was rockin....... she was the whole show really, sang a janis song acapela at the end and invited the crowd to kiliowatt bar........ still, the men in the band were asleep....
They're all like in their 60's now, and their fans are aged wine snobs.
I mean...were you really expecting anything else?
Pure awesomeness! 👌🙏
Refreshingly smart & empathic...unlike most, she's really good Role Model Material.
Awesome interview. Zia is so funny and brilliant. Zia rules! Dandys Rule OK.
I was a huge fan up until I watched Dig! I felt like they were pretentious dorks. I saw them on 13 tales and had it out with friends of the band over the southern flag on the cover.

@@samaireoctober5584nasty about blm?? That they destroyed Portland attacking local businesses ? Is that the nasty thing ?
I’ve seen both them and the BJM. Certain tracks on Come Down were such perfect points - Boys Better, Every Day, Be-in, Good Morning, Not if… perfect psychedelia. Still absolutely dig these tracks at high volume. Not into later tracks - they just don’t grab me.
I absolutely love zia❤
I'm gonna yell over 3 chords - that's it! My latest album title.
Brilliant, generous and oh so magnanimous lady.
This is one of the greatest interviews I’ve seen. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Anton Newcombe helped the Dandy's early success. Anton showed the Dandy's to everyone before they sign with Capitol
No. Anton became part of a scene already developed by band like Camper Van Beethoven, Maximillian Motorcycle Club, American Music Club, Donner Party, Pavement, Cake, early Jellyfish as well as the shoegaze bands copying what was coming out of England: Lush, My Blood Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain. Even the Paisley Underground scene had a movement in Sac, the Bay Area and LA just a few years before.

State school nothing to beat it, you want to learn drums and they give you a claranet.
HUGE CRUSH ON ZIA!!
Te quiero ❤ Dandy Warhols
You guys should be worth way more with over 10-15 hits. That’s hall of fame status.
They've been a major influence on me, personally. And I agree with you!
👑
Briilliant Zia
good strategy to be extra nice to record company employees, sorry it didn't work because of turnover. wonder if there were other strategies that would have been successful. i suppose the first rule is to have good music (not saying dandy's don't). Just like they say the first way to get youtube views is to have good content
I dated a girl named Zia in 9th grade for like, a couple weeks.
Lovely lady right there!
Funny and smart, what a life she’s had!
Love you Zia!
I hurt my knee dance funny that everything isn't coming with you. That's cute. I had strict parents. I love Zia Records so much. I love a variety of music. Especially Punk old punk

She seems so cool and unjaded.!!
She seems like an amazing personality.
only one Patti Smith, plus a Patty Smyth
Enchanting woman
I stopped at 2 minutes in after she said her sister is lesbian and has a trans partner. So she's a lesbian but got with a man who transitioned into a female? Way too much WTF in there for me to wrap my head around.
You’re selling yourself short by not hearing what Zia shares. She’s really articulate and smart on top of being talented and a good human being.
Welcome to Portland.
And she said her MOTHER is with a trans person, not her sister.
Seriously? Jfc... 😂
Their whole family is an absolute disaster, really.
How can you be an interviewer and mispronounce the word “realtor”
Awesome feedback
Because she doesn’t do it as a side hustle like Zia.
What a sexy, positive, beautifull girl. It's everything i like in women, wish i had to meet such a girlfriend. Love her energy, she's so chill and energetic at the same time.
DIG! remains an unbalanced music documentary.
There is nothing really "documentary" about it. It's a MOVIE, and that came from the man himself.
So hot ❤️
Love Zia and The Dandies. If Queen, four highly educated young men can get ripped off anyone can.
