Peter Holmstrom
@petedx11
Peter Holmström is a Portland-based guitarist best known for his work with The Dandy Warhols, a band he co-founded in 1994. His signature guitar sound - rich in effects, textures, and atmosphere - has been key to the band’s acclaimed albums like Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia and Welcome to the Monkey House. Beyond the Dandy's, Holmström leads the experimental project Pete International Airport, and plays in other collaborations including Sun Atoms, and Walls Of Dada.
The third album from Pete International Airport 'It Felt Like The End of the World' was released last year via Little Cloud Records. Rachel Goswell from Slowdive, Alexander Hackett from Pang Attack, Dion Lunadon from A Place To Bury Strangers and the D4, and, none-other-than Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick (on 12 string bass), tangle with Peter’s usual coterie of musical foils. The results are folded into Holmström’s hyper-stylized world of symbols, themes, and archetypes. The LP's core roster boasts the cream of the neo-psychedelic crop, of which The Dandy Warhols, and their shadow, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, are the reigning kings.
The Dandy Warhols' 12th studio album Rockmaker was released in March 2024 which celebrated their 30th year together with a sprinkle of glitter on their grime accompanied by guests Debbie Harry, Slash, and Pixies' Frank Black. The band are embarking on a series of dates throughout Europe in July and the US in September.
Peter also composes music for computer games including Forza with more video game soundtracks on the horizon...
