Osees during filming of a Levitation Sessions concert.

media release: Next up on Levitation Sessions: 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, and will be released as a streaming film + live album. The artwork for this show is courtesy of John Dwyer himself, from a painting created in the midst of the pandemic. 

Film premieres at 7pm CT on 4/10!  Tickets + merch bundles & info here.

Fans can catch a preview of the show with a live cut of “Snickersnee”.

“Osees pine for our fans and friends out there in the world, so we have come together for another stream with the mighty Levitation.

I personally got stoned and stuck my face into the muck of our past catalog to bob for some dusty tumescent gems. There will be some oldies, and some moldies and some surprises along the way.

I’m quite happy with how this one turned out.

Shot in an insane old factory warehouse in Los Angeles (it looks like a fight scene set from Point Blank or the John Wick trilogy :)

If you had told me a year ago we'd be doing these streams now i would have thought you were crazy, but, egg on my face, and here we are. I’m so glad to have this little thing to share a moment with y’all until we can meet face to face on the field of battle again.

Mastered this time in advance of the stream by the Guru JJ Golden, it will hopefully turn some frowns inside out and upside down....grossssss”

“Osees have chosen 5 local Los Angeles charities to donate to with the full profit of this stream.

They are based in aiding our fellow humans who have fallen prey to homelessness and food insecurities.

These are two very close to home issues for us in America and in California. There should be enough housing and there is enough food for all in our country but our system has been designed in a way that it can be an insurmountable obstacle to get back on your feet if you've found yourself without a home.

It can happen to anyone and it is a slippery slope once you have found yourself there.

So, any small amount of help we all can generate with groups that specialize in getting people the help they need to procure the things we all take for granted such as a job, a home, a meal, and psychiatric and general health checks, are all good causes and worthy of our time and reflection.

Thanks very much in advance for your support.”
