Substance Fest 2023 Brings the Flames with Osees

CHAT PILE, flatworms, and more rounded out third night of fest

On the third day and second week of Substance’s 2023 festival, experimental psych rock heroes Osees closed out a sweltering room of dedicated fans. With an intense performance warmed up by fellow peers Chat Pile, Flatworms, and Lightning Bolt, Osees made it clear why they were left to finish the job. Flames burst from the top of the stage, engulfing the band in shadows only illuminated by the embers. Singer John Dwyer provided his signature guitar wielding antics, holding the mic in his mouth and letting his hair flow with the waves of his music. Co-presented by Levitation, the night was a success filled with bands that fit the psychedelic yet hardcore sound and aesthetic!
