Snap Scene: OSees, The Croxton, 10th February 2023 by Mary Boukouvalas

February 15, 2023 Mary Boukouvalas

OSEES (aka Thee Oh Sees, Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees, etc) returned to Australia off the back of 26th (!) album A Foul Form and a reputation as one of the world’s greatest live acts.

OSEES have transmogrified over time to fit many a moment. Mainstay singer/ guitarist John Dwyer forming the band in 1997 to suit his omnivorous whims; from hushed druggy folk to groovy demonic pop chants to science fictional krautrock expanse and beyond. It’s a formula – or lack of – that has endured them a worldwide cult-following and the enduring love of critics and fans alike.
