On February 12, Thee Oh Sees will release a new 7" via John Dwyer's label Castle Face. That's the A-side, "Fortress", above—it was recorded in the same sessions as this year's Mutilator Defeated at Last. Naturally, the band also have a new album in the works. It's due for release in the spring.

The band have also announced a pair of concerts at the Teragram Ballroom in L.A. on December 16-17, with Fuzz, Wand, and Permanent Records DJs opening. Proceeds from the shows will benefit L.A. Kitchen, which helps the homeless community. Here's what Dwyer said in a statement:

We used to do these kinds of events in San Francisco every year, homelessness is really pretty extreme there. But here in Los Angeles, it seems more dire still. This is the first city where I've seen homeless children on the street. It's pretty rough out there and every day the divide seems to grow between money and people without. So, any way we can help out seems like a good thing and everybody involved in the event just sort pulled it all together.
