Thee Oh Sees @ Schoolhouse Studios (2013-01-28)

This is the second year Thee Oh Sees have done an Australia Day show in Melbourne and I truly hope that it continues for many more. It really is just the best way to spend the public holiday. Great music, great people and a few beers in the sun. This year featured a few more bands than last year and all of them ruled but that is for another post...

Thee Oh Sees came out and did what they do best. This would be the 7th or 8th time I've seen them so I won't write too much about it. 4 new songs from the upcoming album in this recording and quite honestly, they are all pretty great. Toe Cutter - Thumb Blaster and Tunnel Time being my favourites. Dead Energy was pretty great as always and man I just wish I could see this set again.

This was recorded pretty much in line with the left speaker stack. The sound is almost exactly how it sounded on the day. Nick who does sound for Thee Oh Sees when they tour here did a great job as always and it reflects in the recording.

1.  The Dream

Thee Oh Sees @ Hi-Fi Bar and Ballroom (2013-01-31)

Man I just could never get tired of seeing these guys play live. Every time I see them they throw in a couple of new songs and despite having seen them a few days prior (recording to follow) they still managed to squeeze in another song I hadn't heard yet. This set has a nice mix of songs and as always there are a few that are jammed out (Block of Ice/Dead Energy come to mind) that absolutely rule.

On a side note do these guys have the biggest boner for Melbourne or what? I think they've done 3 shows here every tour they've done.

This was recorded from my ideal spot in the venue. Just behind the dance floor on the top step slightly off centre. The results from there always come out excellent and this show was no exception.
