San Francisco rockers Osees (previously known as The Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees and Oh Sees, among other monikers) have announced a UK/EU tour for the Summer of this year. The tour will commence on May 7th at The Crossing in Birmingham and will conclude on 15th of July at Welcome to The Village Festival in the Netherlands. Ticket information can be found here.
Osees are set up for a busy year in regard to their touring schedule, and will be embarking on a run of US dates in March before their UK/EU run, and will also be embarking on another four week North American tour which will commence on September 5th in San Francisco, and will conclude in Albuquerque, New Mexico on October 3rd. During this tour, the group will be performing all across the US, with dates in Washington, Minnesota, Texas and New York. There will also be a stop in Toronto, Canada. For North American fans, ticket information can be found here.
Osees, who are known for their noisy and psychedelic style of rock music, released their last album Weirdo Hairdo in 2020, a year that saw them changing their name from Oh Sees to Osees. Not only did the group once again change their name in 2020, but they released a whopping four studio albums; Protean Threat, Metamorphosed, Panther Rotate and Weirdo Hairdo, which has taken them up to a grand total of twenty-six studio albums since their formation under the “OCS” moniker.
From the group’s staggering output, there is no doubt that Osees are a prolific outfit, but more than this, they certainly do not sacrifice quality solely to keep adding to their catalogue. Each album the band has released this year has accrued plenty of warm reception from both fans and critics alike. In a glowing review of Protean Threat, Louder Than War said: “It sounds nothing like they have ever done, yet, at the same time, like something that only they could do. It’s those oxymoronical twists and turns that make Osees a delight to hear from every time as they power through their blend of scuzzy garage psych-punk and throw everything possible at you, just to keep you on your toes.”
The band’s discography can be found on all streaming services, and physical copies of their material can be found here.
