THEE OH SEES, Peak Twins, Mondo Phase Band
San Francisco’s Thee Oh Sees are heading back down under for Sugar Mountain Festival and a smashing run of side shows through Australia, their spiritual home, this January.
What’s the first thing you think of when someone mentions Thee Oh Sees? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right? Visions of a guitar-chewing, melody-maiming John Dwyer careening across your cranium, rounded out by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like it’s a nail in the coffin of what you thought it meant to make 21st century rock ’n’ roll? Yeah, that sounds about right. But it misses a more important point: how impossible Thee Oh Sees have been to pin down! Since Dwyer launched it in the late 90's as a solo break from such sorely missed undergound bands as Pink and Brown and Coachwhips. While Dwyer still records songs on his own, Thee Oh Sees is now a five-piece featuring keyboardist/singer Brigid Dawson, guitarist Petey Dammit, drummer Mike Shoun, and multi-instrumentalist/singer Lars Finberg of The Inteeligence.

Sunday 22nd January
THE KILL DEVIL HILLS, The Floors, Max Savage & The False Idols
Armed with their trademark blend of swamp, punk, country-rock, blues and folk, The Kill Devil Hills will be taking over Jive Bar in Adelaide on Sunday 22 January to launch their latest single The Week in Pictures.
The Week in Pictures is a jarring, throbbing menace of a rock track, a strange and beautiful montage of images of our world seen from afar.
Helping The Kill Devil Hills celebrate the launch of The Week in Pictures will be The Floors (WA) and Max Savage and the False Idols.
The Week in Pictures and B-side The Bends are out now via Bandcamp, on limited edition 7” vinyl through Beast Records (France) or direct from the band at live shows.

jive's big blue building knows a thing or two about reinvention, and about possessing a colourful, whirling history. this place was once a theatre and later became the legendary toucan nightclub in the 70s. it then underwent 2 decades of bewildering changes: reborn as a bar, nightclub, risque trip joint, and a comedy club. today, Jive is a live music venue for local, national and international acts. Its original theatre design elements give it a huge advantage over many other band performance venues; making the space an acoustic winner with plenty of character. the stage stands before the sunken dance floor, so drinkers can have clear sight lines from the bar level. for a different perspective, head to the upper level & check out the stage action from the balcony.
most afternoons, jive exudes a chilled out lounge vibe and caters to university students looking for post-study drinks, pool and foosball. the bar is well stocked and much effort has gone into making sure the range of wines and spirits is high in quantity, rich in quality.
the decor, staff & music make jive a truly welcoming, cosy & entertaining night (or afternoon) out!
