Thee Oh Sees are touring Canberra! GET STIFF FOR IT! (also quick link to the Mount Eerie tour)

And the ticket prices are 20 bucks for the Canberra gig!

These guys play a strain of high speed psychedelic rock. Maybe like Tame Impala on crack?

Any rate though, their 2011 release of Carrion Crawler/The Dream was pretty amazing in my book. Fast, energetic, absolutely dirty fucking guitar work coupled with machine gun drum rolls and had this sweet old surfie psych vibe to it. It was planted in many top 100 album lists for that year. Putrifiers II, which they released in 2012, was probably better constructed and was definitely a more ‘conventional’ album but lacked that filthy sound that made me love CC/TD so much. Still got reviewed very well though.

Like I said, 20 bucks. It’ll be sexy and electric. Just do it. What’s the alternative, sit around at home on a Monday night complaining how long and boring the rest of the week is going to be? Oh sounds wonderful.

February 11th at Transit bar! Be there or be shit!

Thee Oh Sees - Soul Contraption/Desert
Runs for: 5:21
Jesus Christ, so filthy. Wait for the guitars and the drums to kick in and oh my god.

Also, while we're on the topic of tours, Mount Eerie are hitting east coast Australia like... now.
