Seems like The Metro Hotel is in every single issue of Five Thousand doesn't it? So let's just get things straight through a little disclaimer. a) We are not The Metro Hotel. b) We do not work there. c) We are not being bribed. d) We probably attend it around 1.2 times per week, nothing crazy. So it's as simple as this.
Coming in various incarnations such as The Ohsees, OCS, or Orange County Sound - Thee Oh Sees bring the underground of the 60s - tinged with 50s rockabilly - and venture on occasional excursions into a little country called 'spazzed out noise land'.
The aesthetic is visceral garage rock and roll. It's fun and dirty at the same time, without any semblance of bullshit or pretension of profundity.

FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
