Hey fellas, wanna hear about a new band!? Me neither, so lets talk about one that's been circling the block for awhile while we watched them grow up and away. Since you know everything already, you know that this is John Dwyer's current outfit and it fits better than a pair of classic slim-legged Rustlers from your DaDa's closet whilst all the other dudes are stuffing their muffin tops into some tiny-zippered low-waisted girl jeans wandering the desert searching for free ringtones. Folks with their blinders on may think that the band has finally hit their stride, but they just haven't been paying attention to the fertile grass they've been covering. That camp would be doing themselves a favor by checking out the double LP '3 & 4' on Narnack (more on them later) and the two LPs after that. King Factum and the Ickie Buddies saw them in those days, and all of us welled up with tears when they broke out that saw. Calvin Lee Reeder even used their beautiful song in a MOVIE. I guess what I'm fingerpainting here is that they've ALWAYS been good and they've ALWAYS been different. Like JPD has always been. Take a look at Zeigenbock Kopf if you don't believe me, speaking of 'weird punk'. Yeah, I know some of you didn't like the joke, but "a techno version of the Brainbombs"? And this was six years ago. Aaaannnyyway, Thee Oh Sees have released one of the best LPs ever, recorded by the velvet-eared Chris Woodhouse. I recently curled up in John PHILIP (not Paul, I'm sorry) Dwyer's lap and we typed Q's and A's into buttons... Third vs. starts like the first... ![]() Lars: The tracks...Side A - "Block of Ice" Lars: "Visit Colonel" Lars: "Grease 2" Lars: "Ghost in the Trees" Lars: "Two Drummers Disappear" Lars: "Graveyard Drug Party" Lars: "The Master's Bedroom..."

Lars: Can you talk about living in San Fransisco? It's one of my favorite cites to
imagine moving to, am I wrong? What's your favorite thing about it? What's the
worst? Do you think you'll stay forever? Lars: How was your last tour? Lars: What was the worst show? Lars: Wanna talk about the NRSZ incident at all, or will the pigz Google it?
( NRSZ/Nurses were on tour with the Oh Sees and got stopped at the border going to
Vancouver) Lars: SXSW, wanna praise or rip on it? Lars: Tell me about recording with Woodhouse. How is he so good? How many Diet
Pepsis does it take to turn him into the Yoda of Ampex? Lars: Have you seen Mayyors yet? Lars: What is going on with Patrick Mullins? (P. Mullins was the
drummer/percussionist/singing saw player of the ohsees/O.C.S in the earlier
more acoustic days) |

Lars: What the fuck is the deal with Narnack Records? Lars: What's are the three best shows you've seen? Lars: What's your take on smoking? Lars: This question may be boring, and I dont' mean for a full history if you don't
want cause people can look that up, but can you tell me about the evolution of
the band to now? Didn't you 'steal' Brigid from another band? Lars: What does this lineup bring to it? List everyones strengths and
weaknesses individually! Lars: What happend to Yikes? Lars: What is your take on the Sic Alps? Lars: What do you do for work? Lars: What band is the biggest bunch of dicks you've ever come across? Lars: What's some of your favorite new bands? Lars: What happened with Zeigenbock Kopf? What happend to 'Fuck You To Dust'? I think that's the best one! I think the best quote ever is "God stepped in and said this is retarded"! Lars: What would your dream tour be? Including complete bullshit like Archie Shepp
and the Shaggs or something... Lars: How big of a pain in the ass is doing your own label (Castle Face)? END INTERVIEW |
