John Doe And The Sadies — Country Club

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) April 15, 2009 4:34 pm
Here's a Country Club for people who aren't wealthy or snobby enough to look down upon the pioneers of music with a twang. X frontman John Doe and versatile and prolific Toronto band The Sadies came up with the idea for this 15-track album after a show, and they followed through. Most of the songs are covers of classic country tunes, but Doe and...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 18, 2008 3:21 pm

The event has previously hosted NQ Arbuckle, Ohbjiou, Constantines, Feist, Sarah Harmer, Hawksley Workman, By Divine Right, Elliott Brood and many other Canadian acts. This was its 10th anniversary.

The Sadies — New Seasons

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) September 25, 2007 12:49 pm
It's been three years since the last Sadies studio album, but the Toronto-based foursome certainly haven't been inactive. Fans of twang went nuts last year over In Concert Volume 1, a double-disc set from the space cowboys that more than adequately captured the bombastic country punk that riles up fans at their shows. If In Concert was their party...

The Sadies — Tales Of The Rat Fink

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) October 3, 2006 11:57 am
Tales Of The Rat Fink director Ron Mann is from Toronto, but he didn't just choose The Sadies to do the music for his film because they are too. The quartet were chosen because there isn't another band in existence who could capture the spirit of the film's subject, American artist and car customizer Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, more perfectly....

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) August 8, 2006 11:36 am
February 3 and 4, 2006 were magical nights at Toronto's Lee's Palace, and that spirit is captured marvelously on this two-disc live set featuring homeboys The Sadies and a myriad of impressive guests. The first disc is largely comprised of the band on their own, with guest turns from other members of the Good family and The Band's Garth Hudson....

The Tragically Hip Go Hot And Cold

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) June 26, 2006 4:30 pm
The only way last Friday's Tragically Hip concert could have been more Canadian was if it took place on Canada Day. The show was outside, at the Historic Fort York — the same spot where the battle of York took place during the war of 1812 — on a warm summer night. The CN Tower was to the right of the stage while Toronto's busy Gardiner...

The Sadies Bring An Army To Lee's

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) February 6, 2006 4:30 pm
The Sadies have a lot of friends — enough to sell out Lee's Palace for two nights and fill the stage with an impressive array of guests on each of them. The band were recording a live album, with Steve Albini at the helm, so they had to be at their best. But on stage is where Dallas and Travis Good, Sean Dean and Mike Belitsky have always shone...

The clip for the opening tracks to The Sadies' "Another Day Again," which appears on the Polaris Music Prize short listed Darker Circles is... Hilarious, mainly because it uses footage from The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein. But it's also lowercase hilarious because of the way the footage of The Wolfman's dancing syncs with the track.
