Osees at The Chapel

The Oh Sees (also known as OCS and Osees) are a highly influential psychedelic rock band hailing from San Francisco, California. Known for their distinct sound and energetic live shows, the Oh Sees have been captivating audiences since their formation in the late 1990s. Led by frontman John Dwyer, the band has undergone several lineup changes over the years, but their music has remained consistently inventive and exhilarating.

One of the defining features of the Oh Sees’ sound is their use of unconventional instrumentation. They are known for incorporating everything from flutes and violins to synthesizers and drum machines into their music. This experimentation with different sounds and instruments has helped the band develop a unique sonic identity that is both familiar and surprising. Their live shows are also a sight to behold, with the band members constantly moving and interacting with each other on stage, creating a dynamic and engaging performance.

The Oh Sees continue to push the boundaries of psychedelic rock, experimenting with new sounds and styles with each album. Their latest release, “Protean Threat,” is a testament to their continued creativity and innovation.
