Oh Sees - Henchlock (Live on KEXP)

[@charlesrichardson2479]

To me, Dwyer is the most authentic, uncompromising, and important musician on the planet. Just sublime...and always pushing forward

[@leonardonakama3239]

Is the best musician of the decade.

[@drunkenpolack]

You sir, are correct!

[@nathanss28]

Best guitar tones of all time, easily

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Dwyer will be a legend of this era, totally creative and always adding more and reinventing the group

[@charlesrichardson2479]

hippiecheezburger amen....always pushing, always going further and beyond.

[@WaltonsJoint]

Ending the song with the encrypted bounce ending is just incredible

[@M3iscool]

You know when a dude has his guitar strapped up high, some good rock is gonna happen.

[@Echocat59]

Couldn't agree more

[@henryohse1]

See: Slift, Frankie and the Witch Fingers

[@williamwallace7237]

The interplay of Dwyer's guitar playing, the keyboards, and the rhythm section is always top notch with this band. The keyboards seem to just serve the music as a way of adding psychedelic textures to the sound. Guitar goes between adding textures and locking in with the rhythm section to drive the energy towards peaks and valleys. JD just keeps getting better with this whole music thing and I am here for the ride.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Yeah I love how this band really embellishes in techniques that progressive acts of the 70s jammed with, I think Zappa, he was really all about his tone and his ability to talk and experiment with his instrumental jams, like Dwyer does, meaningless and full of feeling and exploration all in one, like some modern jazz really. I think Henchlock is a great piece

[@charlesrichardson2479]

amen!

[@nathangray429]

John Dwyer has such a unique guitar tone

[@SANTOSOSANTOS]

~HE CERTAINLY DOES..EVEN WHEN HE PLAYS THAT SUPED UP VACUUM CLEANER..LOL~

[@nathancipriano4112]

it’s that metal neck;)

This is one of the most underrated/overlooked bands around. Cheers to Thee OH SEES 2020

[@TheMonolake]

The oh sees for 2020

[@stuartculshaw5342]

I dont know if the oh sees are underrated. It's easy to expect ratings from the masses. Oh sees are rated by a smaller group and they are rated very highyly indeed. Oh Sees for 2023. Peace

ending with encrypted bounce? genius

[@Pintheshadows]

This is it. This is the thing.

[@JayD33p]

Over 20 albums now, I've been onboard for almost all, they manage to keep the fire of interest consistently burning, love this band

[@LightweightUK2007]

They’re right up there with the best live bands I’ve ever seen. The ability to find a vibe and play with it, to connect on such an abstract level, and do it so differently off the cuff each time in such an improvised way, it’s pure musicianship bordering on musical telepathy. It’s absofuckinglutely incredible music. Thank you x

just sat here for 10 minutes brushing my teeth in a trance

[@carlosstamp853]

I'm pretty sure that John digs Frank Zappa. Man, that tone

[@Creaturefiendyo]

I bet he enjoys Zappa I’d be shocked if he didn’t

[@faboolean7039]

Considering he's making jazz music now I'd be interested quite surprised if he hadn't had any influence from him

[@louwazoo8356]

I meet him in NYC a few years ago during a run at the Bowery Ballroom, and I had a Zappa shirt on he seemed to be into Zappa a bit. I wouldn't say he is a huge fan though.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Henchlock is like their King Kong, jazzy, prog fueled jam, the tone of the guitar, the relentless bass

[@ToastersChannel]

@@hippiecheezburger5457 Couldn't be said better.

Sick leads.. my fav ocs song!! Saw em in jax fl.. Great show❤😂🎉

[@freeecountryy]

The aluminum neck tones on his Lucite is giving me the yips.

[@nielsw4246]

These KEXP Oh Sees sessions really come close to the fantastic live experiences I had with the Oh Sees. When I play these vids loud, its like having them here playing in my Living room. June 2019 I saw them playing on Down the Rabbit hole, and I am fashinated ever since. Wow guys, what a bunch of great sounds you made. Fantastic Jazz. John is fantastic, but I appreciate the entire band at this time equally as much, great bass, great drums. love the videos as well. Keep up the good work... See you next time when you are over here in The Netherlands

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Oh sees are so goddamn good, they keep getting better

[@jamesm876]

John's guitar playing is probably the best among bands today.. His style really reminds me of Neil Young with a bit more groove on it.

whenever they play live,encrypted bounce seems to find its way in there

[@juandavidrodriguezahumada1530]

omg thanks dude

[@Frankyjiu]

These guys deserve more recognition. great tune.

[@gabeb.3733]

Everyone in this band is running a very interesting rig. Would love to see everything going on with the keyboard set up... Dwyer is a tone god. Pretty sure he built that pedal board in another dimension...?

[@ben-yg5jj]

It’s cool to see the Mr. Elevator dude on the keys

[@joshuabloodsworth9495]

that guy is a sweetheart too, glad to see the cross pollination.

[@ledzeppelinfan1001]

HE DROPPED A NEW ALBUM

[@whatfitzanity4315]

Bought Tomas a beer in Denton Texas back in 2015 at a small bar and saw them rock like there were 10,000 fans when there were maybe 75..Then traveled to Austin to catch them at psych fest that year. Super cool guy.

[@patburroughs1411]

This is f&@#$% brilliant.

[@stevesayer84]

How did Henchlock morph into Encrypted Bounce so effortlessly

[@totalgarbage2053]

It’s in the same key

[@Stanky-kun]

That transition was orgasmic

[@phillh9057]

I love it when they start with one song finish with another f'n bad-ass, also when John puts his pick in his mouth and goes off!! My new favorite band for sure
