Oh Sees, the California band known for incorporating a wide range of rock genres, have announced a run of fall North American tour dates, with a two night stop at New York City’s Webster Hall in September. Among the genres that make up their unique sound are 60’s garage rock, pychedelic rock, punk, noise rock, art punk, and ’80s post-punk.
Led by guitarist/vocalist John Dwyer, whose guitar sound and brutally powerful way of playing are instantly identifiable, the band went through a series of changes that led them from clanging lo-fi garage experimentalism on albums like their 2007 debut Sucks Blood, to weirdo psych-pop on 2011’s Castlemania and almost-slick garage punk on 2014’s Drop.
Oh Sees will also play an upcoming charity concert on May 9 at the 1720 Warehouse in Los Angeles, to benefit The Elizabeth House & East LA Women’s Center. Tickets are on sale here. All dates are listed on the Oh Sees’ website.
