Biography

Thee Oh Sees is a band from San Francisco, California, USA. The group began as an outlet for John Dwyer (of Coachwhips, Pink and Brown, Landed, Yikes, Burmese, The Hospitals, Zeigenbock Kopf, Sword + Sandals) to release his instrumental, experimental home recordings, and over the course of several albums evolved into a full band. The band is noted for both its prolific album releases, energetic live shows, and their whimsical visual aesthetic that juxtaposes cartoon imagery and horror.

The band has changed its name several times, being known as Orinoka Crash Suite, OCS, Orange County Sound, and The Ohsees.

The band's song "Tidal Wave" is featured in the pool scene of the episode "Salud" (Season 4, Episode 10) of the television series "Breaking Bad".

    Filled with scattershot blasts of 60s pop and garage rock.

    An annoying offering which fails to further the Californians’ garage-rock cause.
