Surf, bluegrass, byrdsian psychedelia, garage rock, country, spaghetti westerns, canada. If you like any 2 of those then odds are your gonna like The Sadies. If you like all of them then buddy you're gonna love 'em. Hailing from Canada The Sadies have been going at it since 1998. Core members are lead singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, it's like someone locked them in a room when they were kids with nothing but ventures, byrds, various garage rock records, and two guitars. What came out is damned good. They can play.....buddy can they play. Some of the best b-bender licks since Clarence White invented the damned thing. They are known as one of the best live bands around too. Whether they are backing Alt Country diva Neko Case, dirty soul legend Andre Williams, or punk rock twangster Jon Langford....all of whom they have toured with and released album collaborations with.This was kind of tricky to do, cause their songs are best heard on their albums...with all the quirky instrumentals and all. I tried to include some of that feel by adding some of my favorite instrumentals on here but it's still not the same.....the albums are great, get the albums. Their latest one New Seasons is in my opinion probably their best album and certainly one of the best albums of last year. Do not pass it up, if you like this get that album...it will not dissapoint.

The Sadies are the best band in Canada. Their albums are good, but their live show are GREAT! Saw them twice last year. Thanks for the sampler!
ReplyDeleteMARAVILLOSO, please a trued sound sampler by SLOBBERBONE, I LOVE THIS BAND.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Sadies I really only knew them from their work with other people; now I know what I've been missing.
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance of splitting up the Scott Miller/Gougers file and putting it on RS? I've tried in vain to grab it a few times and it always stops somewhere in the middle, so I've given up on it.
vaughn, I relinked the scott miller on divshare, let me know the score.
ReplyDeletejmud, slobberbone eh....I can put more slobberbone on the samplers. If you go back Slobberbone was the first track on my the very first "truer sampler" post.
or are you asking for a slobberbone sampler? I'll see what I can do, but it's harder when a band only has a few albums out. Stay tuned.
oh and thanks for the comments guys.
ReplyDeleteRockstar Aimz. you raise a very valid point that I should include in the post.....GO SEE 'EM LIVE FOLKS!
Many thanks for this - what a great band! Any chance of re-upping the live in Brighton gig? Great blog. I loved the SCOTS sampler too.
