Due to overwhelming demand, “the greatest live band in the world” (Marc Riley BBC 6), the Osees announce a 3rd and final Melbourne show: Sunday February 21st at the Corner Hotel. With two shows already sold-out this final Melbourne performance will come as welcome relief to those who missed out and is sure to follow suit as another sold out show.
Sydney’s Station Model Violence also add to the action while Osees welcome the return of percussionist, singer Brigid Dawson back to the fold after many years’ absence. A solo performer in her own right, Dawson is noted for her harmonies and is credited with helping Osees frontman John Dwyer write melodies. It’s the material from this period of Thee Oh Sees / OCS that will form the bulk of the set alongside cuts from the new album Off Course.
“In the comfy chair, as neo-hardcore, post-punk fade into psychedelic garage-rock, I evanesce in the moments, muse that with the theatre stage vision in front of me, could this be what going to see The Psychedelic Stooges, or Grateful Dead or MC5 back in the 60’s in San Francisco? Osees are achieving, again and again, taking their audience on an escapist (bus) trip.” – 13th Floor
