Man, Id highly recommend making the trek in the future. Not sure how long, but it would be worth it.
The way people gush over King Gizzard live is exactly how Thee Oh Sees perform. King Gizzard just seemed too rehearsed or stiff or something. Was honestly a little underwhelmed and is why I’m not making the six hour drive again this year.
(I still love them though)
Thee Oh Sees are just non stop energy and long improvised jams. Jon Dwyer is THE rawest musician I’ve ever seen live, and those drummers play at 200%. They were soaked with sweat after the first song.
