Handsome Tours are proud to present O. in Australia + New Zealand this March!

Few things compare to the experience of watching O. live. Featuring the immense, vibrational bass-weight of Joe Henwood’s baritone saxophone played through his array of dub and distortion pedals,as well as the blisteringly precise yet expressively fierce drumming of Tash Keary, the South London duo’s shows are an assault of sound.

Honing their fearless sound through a residency at Brixton’s iconic venue The Windmill, as well as on support slots across the UK and Europe with fellow heavyweight’s black midi and Gilla Band, O. have now distilled their unique live energy into their debut album, WeirdOs.

Featuring production from Dan Carey and released on his label Speedy Wunderground, WeirdOs is Tash and Joe at their most raucous and free. Across 10 tracks of high-octane instrumentals recorded live to tape, the duo encompass everything from thundering blast beats mixed with intricate jazz lines on “Green Shirt” to the dancefloor buildup and cathartic release of “TV Dinners”, junglist breakbeats on “Micro” and sludgy, menacing doom metal on “Slap Juice”.

Playing like a miraculous blend of frenzied vitality, Khrunagbin’s knack for instrumental melody and the freeform improvisation of Sons of Kemet, WeirdOs is a distinct debut showcasing two musicians already certain of their sound and skill. With their first trip to the US booked for SXSW and plans for their largest UK tour to date currently taking form, these intimate Australian shows are not to be missed!
