Osees - La Route du Rock 2023

Osees - Live at the Henry Miller Library, Big Sur

Recorded from dusk till dawn 2 at the gorgeous Henry Miller Library in Big Sur. Same killer crew, similar killer vibes. An enchanting pre-holiday evening to tell you that we miss and love you. Play it loud and have one on us. And keep your chin up for goodness sake. -JPD

Lightning Bolt: The Power of Salad & Milkshakes

This documentary film follows the avant-garde duo of the Providence, Rhode Island noise rock band Lightning Bolt, Brian Gibson and Brian Chippendale, through a tour of the states, along with interviews of the band and their friends and family.

Thee Hounds of Foggy Notion

Thee Hounds of Foggy Notion is the title of the August 25, 2008 live CD/DVD release by San Francisco-based rock band Thee Oh Sees. Recorded during their Sucks Blood era in 2007, the performances include songs from previous albums, as well as others that were unreleased at the time. Some of those that had not appeared on any album were later reworked for 2008's The Master's Bedroom is Worth Spending a Night In, here performed in the more subdued psychedelic folk manner which characterized the band's sound during this period. This album was the final appearance of percussionist Patrick Mullins, who left the band after "Sucks Blood". The live footage on the DVD was filmed over the course of four days in San Francisco.[1] It features the band performing in mostly unconventional locales, such as on the shoulder of a highway and near the beach. The video footage was directed by Brian Lee Hughes.

Osees Live in Los Angeles

We had agreed to do a 6 show residency at the Teragram in Los Angeles in 2025. Tried to mix it up for the kiddos so I brought on the big guns…BRIGID DAWSON. And boom goes the dynamite! The missing key component to all of this middle era Garage Punk junk. Culled from the last 3 shows here are the creme de la creme of the tunes. Some long bloated fliers and some short sweet friers.

Osees - Levitation Sessions II

OSEES return for another blistering set, this time from the depths of a cavernous Los Angeles factory. The performance features a fresh batch of tracks spanning over a decade of the band's expansive discography with a handful of never-before-played-live tunes & some new surprises.

Osees - Levitation Sessions

Back in September 2020, OSEES performed a blistering set out in the desert at Pappy & Harriet's, which aired on the LEVITATION Sessions streaming series.

Checking in at 20

Brian Chippendale is the drummer in Lightning Bolt. Greg Saunier is the drummer in Deerhoof. They've teamed up for a self-titled drum duo album—a limited edition LP featuring two side-long improvisations. Checking in at 20 was directed by Matt Conboy of Death by Audio films featuring interviews with members of the Flaming Lips, Les Savy Fav, Thee Oh Sees, and Oneida.

Petey & Ginger

When the global economy collapses the only true victors are those that weren't invited to the boom. Petey plays in a band and works in a pornography warehouse; Ginger works the night shift in a bar. From opposite coasts of the country, the two provide their personal takes on individual vs. collective crisis, together weaving a narrative that exposes a wasteland of shattered economic dreams, unfulfilled social promises and a bleak reality that only music and friendship can float freely above.
