In the 18 or so months since John Dwyer left San Francisco for the sunnier climes and cheaper rents of Los Angeles, fans of Thee Oh Sees have been forced to go through serious withdrawal. What used to be a steady diet of gigs every couple of weeks by Dwyer's garage-psych juggernaut has dwindled to a rare visit every six months. Though the guitarist put what was widely regarded as the classic lineup of the band on hiatus in favor of touring as a power trio, the latest hypnotic Oh Sees effort Mutilator Defeated at Last found Dwyer delving deeper into kraut-punk mode with assistance from longtime collaborators Brigid Dawson and Chris Woodhouse. Thee Oh Sees come back home in the band's latest permutation featuring twin drummers for this sold-out residency at the Chapel. Synth terrorists POW! support along with Useless Eaters (Tuesday), Cold Beat (Wednesday), and Feral Ohms (Thursday).

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
