Psych-punk psychic warrior, ear worm-farmer, and possessor of many stamped passport pages, John Dwyer and his band Osees (aka Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees, etc) return to Australia next March following a blistering sold-out national tour in 2023.
Already announced as a feature act at the 2025 Golden Plains Festival, Osees will also headline Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Fremantle and Melbourne.
Edwin Garland's review of the 2023 Sydney show is here and the late Patrick Emery's Melbourne recap is here.
The 2025 visit comes off the back of the release of their 28th album “Sorcs 80”, an album that is unique to the band’s catalogue because it is guitar-less.
Live, the guitar remains very much at the fore as are the duelling drums of Paul Quattrone and Dan Rincon. Bassist Timothy Hellman (yes, his real name) and keyboard player Tomas Dolas are the lynchpins holding the sprawling unrestrained chaos at bay, never relenting and ensuring the whole show stays one course.
