The High Seas and our pals at Under The Radar are real damn excited to bring youse guys Thee Oh Sees!
Yeah, that's right! Thee Oh Sees finally in New Zealand, it's going to be totally rad.
What's the first thing you think of when someone mentions Thee Oh Sees? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right! Visions of a guitar-chewing, melody-maiming John Dwyer careening across your cranium, rounded out by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like its a nail in the coffin of what you thought it meant to make 21st century rock n roll
Yeah, that sounds about right. But it misses a more important point - how impossible Thee Oh Sees have been been to pin down since Dwyer launched it in the late '90s as a solo break from such sorely missed underground bands as Pink and Brown and Coachwhips. While Dwyer still records songs on his own, Thee Oh Sees is now a five-piece featuring keyboardist/singer Brigid Dawson, guitarist Petey Dammit, drummer Mike Shoun, and multi-instrumentalist/singer Lars Finberg.
