The Sadies – Colder Streams

Thursday, July 14, 2022 By Shawn Underwood

If you read our blog, chances are you’re a fan of The Sadies. And so you know Dallas Good, who along with brother Travis was a guiding light of the band, passed away suddenly in February. I’ve gushed about the band before, and was saddened that one of the more talented musicians around, and quirkiest […]

Monday Morning Video – The Sadies

Monday, February 21, 2022 By Mayer Danzig

We lost another great talent this past week with the passing of Dallas Good, co-founder of Canada’s treasured The Sadies. In addition to the group’s own prodigious output, they have collaborated with countless friends and admirers, including Neko Case, John Doe, Justin Townes Earle, Gord Downie, and countless others. Good’s passing is another tragic loss […]

The Sadies – Northern Passages

Friday, January 13, 2017 By Shawn Underwood

I appreciate the sentiment behind the saying, “you can’t go home again” and it’s nod to life not standing still.  Sometimes, when you want to take a step back from all the changes, home is just where you want to go, though.  Brothers Dallas and Travis Good, and their Sadies bandmates Sean Dean and Mike […]

The Sadies – Riverview Fog Premiere

Thursday, November 03, 2016 By Shawn Underwood

A few years ago I opined The Sadies were the best rock and roll band coming out of Canada.  Like Canadian pathfinders, The Band, they adhere to a storyline that’s about seizing opportunity.  Some days it’s collaborating with stellar musicians like Neko Case, Jon Langford, or John Doe.  Other days it’s about brothers Travis and Dallas Good […]

The Sadies – Internal Sounds

Wednesday, October 02, 2013 By Shawn Underwood

Twin lead guitars.  In the glory days of my misspent youth that was about all you had to tell me to get me to go to a show.  Internal Sounds, the latest release from The Sadies, reminded me of why I was so enamored of the Southern rock genre and gave me pause to consider […]

The Sadies – Darker Circles

Thursday, May 27, 2010 By Kelly Dearmore

For Dark Circles (Yep Roc) the first studio album since 2007, The Sadies once again enlisted the help of Jayhawk co-leader Gary Louris to produce. And, they also employed their signature melange of tight, Bakersfield electrified country, psychedelia, and jamming surf rock. While the Toronto foursome, led by brother Dallas and Travis Good, has racked […]

Neko Case – Middle Cyclone

Wednesday, March 18, 2009 By Shawn Underwood

When I was growing up back in the 70’s, it wasn’t unusual for an artist to have a Concept Album.  They would take some idea or theme and write a number of songs at least vaguely in line with the concept.  Of course all those records can really be traced to Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts […]
