Osees Announce 2025 Australian Tour Dates
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.
The 2025 visit comes off the back of the release this month 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. Two synth samples being the only sounds other than bass, drums and front-man John Dwyer’s vocals. And yet still they deliver the goods with tracks like Also the Gorilla and Termination Office being amongst their very best.
But live the guitar is very much at the fore as are the duelling drums of Paul Quattrone and Dan Rincon. While bassist Timothy Hellman (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.
