Oh Sees - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

These stories always cracks me up

epic LoL

I remember meeting John, i almost stomped him. The man's so tiny, he's like 10 inches tall max. Then he sat on the table and we drank some beer. He drank out of a bottle cap, because cups are too big for this little man. It was hilarious.

oh sees police I have a picture with him from a couple years back and he is around my height ~6’3. ...Yhorm? is that you?

I ran into him at the Panda Bear show in Highland Park. I was chillin by the merch table and I looked up and there he was, told him I was a fan and was looking forward to the next album. He was cool, smiled and thank you and proceeded on his way. 10/10 would say hi to again.

эй, если у тебя будет время проверить живую сессию, которую я сделал ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-81KmJ9wfHTU.html

And an aluminum guitar neck grafted to his arm.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I heard he got a Fuzz War circuit implanted in his brain as well!

Horst an average, every short person I met, are fun in real life

@@InnerGuidanceTribe hes actually tall 😂

Nick Alfonso im so confused by this I see people saying he’s short all the time , how tall is this man lol

@@harrybunker2975 Yeah he's at least 12 inches tall

10 inches? More like 7 or 8 inches

I don't think my neck will be the same ever again

god the last show fucked up my eardrums for almost a month

Ha ha! Their show near me a few years back was the first at which I’d crowd-surfed in over a decade - and, as God is my witness, once they come through town again, it won’t have been my last! 🤘🏼❤️🕺🏼

@@danopticon True story from the Buenos Aires show. This dude was crowd surfing like a maniac, clearly high on something - uppers, no doubt. He must've jumped on the stage like 15 times. Security tried to get him off, but John Dwyer was like "The fuck you doin'? Let the kid have his fun!" By the end, the dude had gotten so wild that he was kicking and punching us on his way down. People started "returning" the shows off appreciation to let him know that this was unacceptable behavior. Once the dude got up on stage, flailing like a maniac, for the 16th time, I looked into the eyes of the other people at the front. We nodded in unspoken agreement. The guy leaped off the stage as we all opened up like ants responding to fire. He kersplatted in the center of the empty space like a cartoon, bending his neck kinda funny. I worried for a second. The crazy, drug-addled sonovabitch just got up and kept going. He didn't try to crowd surf after that. What a fucking show.

bloodnchocolate YES! I was there too and it was a fucking rip roarer!

Yea... Seen them last year, came on stage earlier than planned after the support band had finished - played non stop never slacking or dropping energy continuing until the house lights came on ...

I hope they come through Seattle again. Dang!!

cool dad and son

Nice

You forgot Encrypted Bounce.

Snickersneese lmao

Yakovlievich 29:14 Encrypted Bounce

Same here brotha

nice words♡

ah fuck, same, man

I have never felt cooler than when I listen to Thee Oh Sees, I know what you mean.

Agreed

Beautifully worded few bands have given me the same feeling

Damnit dude! You had to go and lift the veil, eh? Had me analyzing the music I listen too. KGATLW, Sleep, Ghost, MF Doom, Aesop Rock etc...I think these bands all fit that bill. Perhaps Ghost not so much just because people have a hard time getting used to the image. (too far towards the unknown.)

DcMango the new ghost stuff really sucks and just sounds like radio garbage tbh

I will tell you what a lady told me in LA, "oh just go start a band"

Rush were very much this experience for 80s kids stuck between the bright lights and the mass production zone

cmz8706 I'm 22 years old and I want half the energy he has with 45

Hes boutta be 19 right?

What about Chris D'elia?

We always love a good generator powered live show on the plane. One time I was on a train ride from seattle to victoria and john and the boys were packing their gear in. Well the conductor got mad because he wanted John's Music Man 210 HD amp because his father owned one and he believed it was his birthright. Well John simply plugged his gear into his portable phone charger and played the intro to enter sandman twice and then he put his stuff away and left as the conductor peed himself.

YES

what a genius.

😹

i cant tell if that story is supposed to make him feel bad or not *shurgs*

thats...scarily accurate

This is so true.

@@idiosyncraticmushroom3030 yea he NAILED that.

@@chrisjacob1446 definetly

Biffy Clyro wearing shirts

This is a bold faced lie. John is 10 inches tall.

Matt Cho i thought nobody could notice it! But yeah Mr. Elevator!

HE DROPPED AN ALBUM TODAY

No way!

@@sSmOkeBLuNtSs yeah, its amazing

@@ledzeppelinfan1001 thats good news sir

Astute observation ♡

Accurate af

I love that statement. Alot. 100.

Yessir!

that transition into the Encrypted Bounce finish was a nice touch🔥

Discovered them today. Was blind but now I see.

Yes

So true. Its my go to album at the minute.

M M m ? Memberi peluang yang. Lpoll .

of course the dude with the volta avatar would say that (not that you're wrong lol)

it's grown on me a lot. still not my favorite Oh Sees album, but a great one.

oh god its my latest LP. There is a wormhole jn the gatefold, so pack a rucksack

he also looked like a dork in his early 20s he proves that its never to late to become rad

RegularDude I’ve never been able to find a picture of younger Dwyer

Yeah, their newer songs seem much more refined.

Chris yeah dude it’s something with the bass line and riff that John plays that’s significantly different

Gotcha - live here they do that ring mod riff in key with the song- F major. My ear tells me that the studio ring mod part happens in F# major, so it sounds kind of spooky juxtaposed next to the regular bassline going between F/Eb

@@ianmcgregor2543 this guy's got it ^^

Szk1312 I have a special place in my heart reserved for Cheryl, but yes he did a great job keeping up the pace while also goofing around with John, really fun interview.

Troy does the Afternoon Show on KEXP every week. He plays my requests sometimes even. You go Troy!! I love KEXP! Go to KEXP.ORG right now and give them money for enjoying this.

you've stumbled upon maybe the best rock band of the last decade+ that most people don't know about. welcome.

Got to see them in 2010 with his other line-up. The last song of the set was 'Warm Slime'. It melted the faces off of everyone there.

Hungry Hungry Johnboys new from Hasbro

I'm just hearing it now. Fantastic!

baws that was fantastic hahaha

Best part !

yeah my brain melted in that point

They can’t ever not end with encrypted bounce!

You got the brother. The drummers kill it, the synth, John absolutely smashing it... base keeps it in check. These live versions are the absolute nuts.

Lol so fucking true.

And a long sleeve

And glasses

Winter clothes

And not one of his two outfits

thanks, this made me lol

hahaha YES

Go Cheryl go!

Ive watched this almost every day since I saw your comment and I laugh every time I see Cheryl on the keys. Thank you

His guitar tone is sexy as hell

Simon Johansen might be?

Back in the day I used to tell a friend of mine the reason I prefer Thee Oh Sees live to Ty Segal is that John Dwyer has his tones down to perfection while Segal kind of didn't (at least back then).

@@dannyapeshit just saw ty play a bean for the first time - happy to report he has finally nailed the tone. Monstrous

@@low-charge He definitely has developed a tone now. It's rich and velvety. I love it.
