Thee Oh Sees

Let's get our asses handed to us by music!

First up!!

Thee Oh Sees

My first exposure to this band was through a very close friend of mine. He insisted that if I enjoy music at all, I would especially enjoy this group. He claims that this is one of the only current music groups worth listening to.

How many sick fucks out there can say that they have felt utter excitement after witnessing their beloved singer/songwriter hurl a giant wad of spit across the stage in preparation of their upcoming set? Well, I've learned that I am one of those "sick fucks" when the hurler in the situation is John Dwyer with his guitar adjusted high and tight.

This band comes from San Francisco and plays some killer garage/punk/psychedelic rock.  I saw them play at the Warsaw in Brooklyn, NY on November 13th, 2016. That night the band consisted of John Dwyer (guitar and vocals), Tim Hellman (bass), and a double percussion of Ryan Moutinho and Dan Rincon.

Two bands opened for them. Acid Dad (a psyche punk band from NYC) started off the night. Straight Arrows (from Sydney, Australia) followed.

The show was fantastic. John Dwyer's sweet little high pitched yips and howls encouraged all of us to rock on harder and harder. If you value your hearing, I would encourage the use of earplugs. (I didn't use any and blissfully couldn't hear anything the next day besides the music that was still playing in my mind from the night before) Dancing your pants off is a must. Stretching is encouraged so one can function somewhat normally the day after. All in all, extreme fun was had by all.
