Osees are the best band on the planet - Marc Riley BBC 6
Psych-punk psychic warrior, ear worm-farmer, and possessor of many stamped passport pages John Dwyer and the his band Osees (aka Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees, OCS, The Oh Sees) return to Aotearoa next February for the first time in much too damn long. Banished Music and Strange News Touring are teaming up to bring you three mammoth rawk shows, in Auckland, Wellington and Raglan.
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. Dwyer himself has described the album as Dexy's Midnight Runners meets Von LMO meets The Flesh Eaters meets the Screamers kinda punk junk”.
The point is, this is another peak in the mountain range of Osees high points, these shows are going to be wild. Saddle up, Aotearoa. It’s Osees time.
