MSC Event: The Sadies

The Sadies have honed a darkly atmospheric sound, with moody guitars that alternate between break-neck picking and beautifully twisted notes which bend into the next day. The near flawless musicianship grows consistently more assured on each recording, as the band moves seamlessly among styles, from traditional country gospel to psychedelic gloom, from hillbilly rock to Bakersfield honky-tonk, from jangly surf instrumentals to cautionary murder ballads.
