LP - Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering Sun - Live At 6 O'Clock

1LP

Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering Sun released their debut self-titled album in 2014, a triumphant ten song barnburner that clashes the late Gord Downie's indelible poetry with the brash, inspired playing of The Sadies, whose resume already included albums with Neko Case, Jon Spencer, John Doe, and Andre Williams, to name a few.

Not a one-off, but a brotherhood, Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering Sun struck a punk-addled chemistry verging on possessed, compelled by Downie's peerless words, unbridled charisma, and the unencumbered playing of Mike Belitsky, Sean Dean, Travis Good, and the late Dallas Good.

The summer tour of that album blazed a trail of indescribably fiery performances of the album, riddled with incendiary covers of punk & psych rock greats, a rare intensity now captured on the concert album, Live At 6 O'Clock.
