The Coachwhips, formed in San Francisco by
deranged vocalist John Dwyer, half of the duo Pink & Brown,
took the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's
distorted garage-rock to the punk-rock extremes of the
raucous frenzied orgy of Get Yer Body Next Ta Mine (Narnack, 2003),
an energetic parade of short sonic blisters such as
Hey Stiffie and 1000 Years.
Bangers Vs Fuckers (Narnack, 2004) applies the punk aesthetics borrowed
from the Germs to the sound of garages at large,
flipping through the glorious pages of
Gun Club (You Gonna Get it),
Jon Spencer (I Knew Her She Knew Me)
and
Cramps (Extinguish Me, Harlow's Muscle of Love)
in a few breathless minutes.
Peanut Butter and Jelly (Narnack, 2005) is not the overdose of
rock'n'roll that its predecessors were. In fact, it boasts only a few songs
that justify its format as a full-length album: Body and Brains, I Made A Bomb, Did You Cum?.
The rest is filler. This should have been an EP.
Double Death (Narnack, 2006) collects rarities.
John Dwyer's side-project OCS
(Orinoka Crash Suite)
was devoted to
minimal bedroom folk and blues for acoustic guitar and found noises:
the double-CD Orinoka Crash Suite (tUMULt, 2003), including a full disc
of terrifying noise
(18 Reasons To Love Your Hater To Death),
the double-CD 2 (Narnack, 2004), that collects material from 2001 to 2003,
and the double-CD 3 & 4 (NArnack, 2005).
Renamed Thee Oh Sees, John Dwyer's solo project first moved towards psychedelic
music with The Cool Death Of Island Raiders (Narnack, 2006),
and then rapidly turned towards old-fashioned garage-rock with
Sucks Blood (2007) and
The Masters's Bedroom is Worth Spending a Night In (Tomlab, 2008).
John Dwyer
was also active in Dig That Body Up It's Alive and Zeigenbock Kopf.
He also ventured into free jazz with Swords & Sandals.
Thee Oh Sees'
Help (In The Red, 2009) is the band's third studio album.
