Thee Oh Sees : Floating Coffin

You can’t stop Thee Oh Sees’ John Dwyer – the man’s a fucking machine.  And this is none of your crappy Ikea cast-off machines that cost $20, work a few times and then die in the arse with ne’er an electronic whimper nor a warranty in sight – this is serious shit, the type of machine that sits in the corner of the room churning some serious shit out like there’s no tomorrow, makes a bunch...

The sun beat down and the FOMO creeped in as we waited the 40-odd minutes to gain entry into Schoolhouse Studios. Dick Diver had already kicked off their set, and it felt like a very real possibility that we would miss the entirety of it. But we made it in time to hear their recent single Alice, which went down a treat in the sun-drenched courtyard. Top-notch album-closer Head Back made a... Read More

Teased as a "mystery BBQ" performance by The UV Race on a Brunswick St rooftop, a mid-arvo afternoon show has been revealed to be a special set by Thee Oh Sees. Though a show by The UV Race would no doubt prove substantial in itself, the Melbourne louts will now be joined by the ever-busy Thee Oh Sees. The announcement came after Thee Oh Sees' show at The Corner tonight sold-out, and follows on... Read More
Sugar Mountain Festival, Saturday January 14, The Forum

  Peering out from side of stage, there was a sea of faces gazed upon John Maus as he took to The Forum main stage – some bemused, some perplexed, few nodding along. Opposed to the intimate enclosure of The Corner on the night previous, it felt as though we were witnessing King Kong tear through a run of retro-tinted pop numbers. Soaking himself with water and sweat, Maus revelled in his... Read More

If bands like Eddy Current Suppression Ring, The UV Race and Twerps have collectively proved anything, it's that Americans love a good helping of candid, Aussie garage rock. Various installments at different American music festivals, coupled with releases on renowned international labels like Goner and Iron Lung, records have seen the proliferation of these Aussie bands in the thriving American...

It's impossible to keep up with Thee Oh Sees. Not only are the pioneers of avant garage rock constantly touring their energetic and explosive live show, but their recording output is second to none. In the last six years, the band has released eleven full length releases, seven EP's, nine 7" singles and contributed to three compilations. With a discography that would exhaust the most serious...

One of San Francisco's finest purveyors of deliciously fuzzed out, psychedelic garage rock, Ty Segall, is coming to Australia for the first time. Taking a break from his usual freakish prolificness, Segall has recently knuckled down and spent a lot of time penning the pensive Goodbye Bread (out locally through Popfrenzy); the follow-up to last year's epic garage extravaganza Melted (Goner...

There was a time when I blamed missing support acts on public transport and parental duties; these days it’s a mad dog with a propensity for indoor incontinence. Still, we managed to arrive in time to see a whopping one and a half songs from Boomgates, another in a seemingly infinite line of Melbourne indie/garage supergroups. A bit of powerpop, a dash of Modern Lovers and a melodic... Read More
