'Welcome To The Monkey House'was produced by Taylor-Taylor and Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes, except for 'The Dope You Are' and 'Rock Bottom' produced by TaylorTaylor & Tony Visconti, and'You Come In Burned'produced by Taylor-Taylor.

Based in Portland, Oregon, The Dandy Warhols are Courtney Taylor-Taylor (guitar, vocals, keyboards), Peter Holstrom (lead guitar), Brent DeBoer (drums, vocal harmonies), Zia McCabe (keyboards).

The first single from'Welcome To The Monkey House'is'We Used To Be Friends'.
This is in many ways a challenging album, laden with complex melodies and song structures, but it all works exceptionally well.
