NYC music scenesters often get a bad rap for being apathetic naysayers, but Thee Oh Sees proved this wrong at Santos Party House. Vigorous, sweaty and jam-packed, fans went berserk for the San Francisco based psychedelic rockers and gave back 100% to front man Johnny Dywer. Perhaps local music enthusiasts are under stimulated, armed with high expectations, and faced with so many promising “It” bands that often deliver lackluster performances. Who can get excited about that? Johnny Dywer knows how to rev-up the crowd and put on a show with out jeopardizing the integrity of the music. He bites, kicks, spits and plays guitar with his teeth and it all sounds good. It’s a fine line between acting and showmanship and the only thing worse than apathy is a painful performance from an overzealous thespian with all the right moves. Thee Oh Sees on the other hand, walk that line effortlessly and always give their audience something to freak out about!
