During After Dark: Distortion, San Francisco's notorious band, Thee Oh Sees overlaid '60s-era garage pop sounds with punky jitter and surf psychedelia to create a playfully harmonic-yet-chaotic aural disorientation. Long considered one of the best underground bands in San Francisco, Thee Oh Sees's live shows are legendary for their energy, due in part to front man John Dwyer's unparalleled ferocity on the guitar. http://www.myspace.com/ohsees Behind Thee Oh Sees played films by Harry Smith (1923-1991), a West Coast experimental filmmaker, bohemian, accentric, and musicologist. His abstract animations were mostly made by painting on film and using other methods to directly manipulate celluoid. He is best known for his 1952 six-album "Anthology of American Folk Music."
