Trippy, psychedelic and groovy would just cover half of Thee Open Sex’s
most recent and self-titled LP. Its the group’s third since 2009 and is
extremely tight and cohesive—just like its live performances." - Patrick Filbin PASTE
The 'stoner droners' are featured on the Paste 50 Project representing Indiana and their latest release is a self-tilted 12" via Magnetic South Recordings. I want to thank Rachel Weidner AKA Miss Mess (Organ/Vocals) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Favorite concert ever?
Tough one. BITCHPORK wins all-around fave freaky music and homies, but every Nobunny show I have ever attended has been wild and ecstatic in the best way. Seeing Roky Erickson in Louisville was life-changing. I've also seen Tom Petty like 5 times and never been disappointed. Chatting with Fred Cole and Toody after seeing Pierced Arrows the first time was amazing. I'm so inspired by them. Geto Boys at SXSW this year, fuuuuuuck.

Shows suck all the time, but I almost always enjoy them. However, music school juries and recitals can suck a big one. So much talent, but so incredibly boring.
