Premiere: Watch Thee Oh Sees riff on ‘Block of Ice’ at Austin Psych Fest in new-old live video

News: Osees come firing out with another Levitation Session live stream in April; see a taster, ‘Snickersee’
POSSIBLY the absolute best live band in the world right now and for quite a while, John Dwyer’s Osees are determined we don’t go through our second pandemic spring without a prescription of garage rock fire, to be taken aurally.
