Banished Music & Strange News in association with 95bFM Present Osees at Hollywood Avondale & Yard Raglan
No It’s not your favourite early 2000’s American tv drama series set in California - Its Osees! (aka Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees) returning to Aotearoa next February for the first time in much too damn long.
The 2025 visit comes off the back of their 28th album (yikes!) Sorcs 80. Another stab at mutant-punk it may be but Sorcs 80 is unique to the Osees catalogue in that there aren't any guitars on the album. Synths are the only sounds you’ll hear here other than a horn section, drums and frontman John Dwyer's vocals, yet still they deliver the goods as only Osees can, with tracks like Also the Gorilla and Termination Office sitting amongst their very best.
Fans of the old fashioned ways, take heart, the guitar is very much at the fore of the modern Osees live experience, as are the duelling drums of Paul Quattrone and Dan Rincon, while bassist Timothy Hellman and keyboard player Tomas Dolas are the linchpins holding the sprawling unrestrained chaos at bay, never relenting and ensuring the whole show stays on course.
Pre-sale starts 10AM, Friday 25 October with General tickets on sale 10AM, Monday 28 October.
