Why this recording

Released by Castle Face on the same day as the album Live in Los Angeles, Delaney Schenker's film gathers the best moments from the last three nights of a six-show residency at the Teragram Ballroom in 2025. Above all, it captures a six-piece line-up with Brigid Dawson on vocals and percussion, whom John Dwyer calls the missing piece of the band's middle-era garage punk material. Paul Quattrone and Dan Rincon share the double drum kit. This is the configuration that then heads out on tour, which makes the video a reference point for this version of Osees.

In 2025, Osees, the garage and psychedelic rock band led by the tireless John Dwyer, took over the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles for a residency, released by their own label Castle Face. This full live concert captures the Californian outfit in its natural habitat, the stage, where its music reaches an intensity the studio struggles to contain. Saturated riffs, hammering double drums, hypnotic krautrock and punk energy: the full show rolls out the characteristic wall of sound of Osees before a club crowd worked to a boil. Prolific and uncompromising, John Dwyer confirms his reputation as a stage animal and his place among the most productive artists in American independent rock. The precise setlist of this capture could not be reliably tied to a specific date of the residency and is therefore not detailed here. For fans of live rock, garage and psychedelia, this Osees concert at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles in 2025 is a jolt of raw energy, catching a band that has always treated the live room as the true test of its sound.
