Background
The band consists of Dallas Good (also of Phono-Comb), Travis Good, Sean Dean and Mike Belitsky. Dallas and Travis Good are the sons of Bruce Good, and nephews of Brian and Larry Good, who are members of the Canadian country group The Good Brothers.
In addition to their own recordings, the Sadies often collaborate with other country-rock artists, such as Blue Rodeo, Jon Langford, The Tragically Hip, Andre Williams (on the 1999 country-influenced Red Dirt), and are the preferred live backing band of singer Neko Case. They have toured with Jon Spencer as his band in his Heavy Trash project. The Sadies are also featured in Adult Swim's 12 oz. Mouse. An instrumental performed by the band can be heard in episode 5 of season 1, during a scene in which Rhoda the bartender is murdered. On May 18, 2010, The Sadies released Darker Circles CD/LP through Outside Music and Yep Roc Records. Darker Circles was a shortlisted nominee for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.[1]
The Sadies are collectively members of supergroup The Unintended, along with Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo and Rick White of Eric's Trip. They also make multiple contributions to Garth Hudson's 2010 album Garth Hudson Presents: A Canadian Celebration of The Band, by performing "The Shape I'm In", and also by backing Neil Young, for "This Wheel's On Fire", and Mary Margaret O'Hara, for "Out of the Blue".[2] All performances on that album featured Hudson on keyboards
