Description
Thee Oh Sees come to Australia for the first time dripping with acclaim from critics and fans who have been avidly following the growth of the band from guitarist/vocalist John Dwyer’s solo folk project to the exploratory, reverential and revered four-piece that compares favourably to the influences they draw on; Small Faces, 13th Floor Elevators and others. Instead of plagiarising the past, Thee Oh Sees have dragged the garage sounds and dual-vocal back-and-forth into the present, casting themselves as triumphant contemporaries rather than imitators. It’s impossible to refute the confidence and economy on Help; Thee Oh Sees have distilled the form into something pure, and the lean drive and massive waves of their sound will wash over Australian audiences grateful for a taste of the eternal American summer in the sweat and desert heat of December.
