The Sadies at Mr Smalls Theatre with Kurt Vile & the Violators

Without doubt or qualification, The Sadies are one of this continent’s greatest extant rock ’n’ roll bands — just as they have been for the last quarter-century. Versatile and imaginative, they skip from astral psychedelia to shuffling bucolics and leap from puckish pop to righteous garage-rock without losing momentum or mastery. Their albums deliver masterclasses on pointed songwriting, lockstep harmonies, and a devil-may-care attitude to expectations and past successes. With a new album – Colder Streams – hitting the streets in July 2022, you can look forward to hearing what Shindig Magazine calls “a stone-cold masterpiece”.
