After six name changes and too many line-up edits to count on fingers since their start in ‘97, San Francisco warped noise-dwellers Thee Oh Sees come to Manchester’s Academy this summer to play a storm of a show. Having an impressive back catalogue of seventeen albums and EPs, the LA band have 10 years of eclectic material to rip through.

Find Thee Oh Sees tickets.

Following the release of two of their most recent and raucous albums A Weird Exits and An Odd Entrances, West Coast garage band Thee Oh Sees return to the UK to showcase their reverb-soaked sound. Pioneered by psychedelic powerhouse John Dwyer (of Coachwhips, Swords & Sandals, The Drums), Thee Oh Sees are by far his most prolific project.

With a unique combination of acoustic guitars, synths and fuzzy effects as well as a quirky and unpredictable structure to their songs - the band are able to accelerate from naught to one hundred in the length of a song. 

Their electric and unhinged live shows are not to be missed, frenzied frontman Dwyer is as erratic as the tracks he performs - a wild spectacle of raw energy. Witnessing Thee Oh Sees live is bound to be a sweaty affair, if not by the energy surging throughout the crowd and band, the psych-punk quartet are certain to induce a sweat from the boundaries they push. From mixing classic 60s beats and melodies with heavy, psychedelic noise-rock, to gritty breakdowns which are guaranteed to cause a head-banging hangover. 

General tickets are on sale from Wednesday 25th January at 10am.
