Neko Case & the Sadies

Early postcard for a Neko Case & the Sadies tour.

From the book:

“The first time I met Toronto’s polymathic Sadies, they had opened for and backed Neko at Lounge Ax on her album release tour. Their wigged-out surf, bluegrass, garage, punk, and country attack shrouded in cigarette smoke and shiny suits meant business. They were a quasi-psychedelic ’70s work of string art, style-nails pounded into a board and connected by one long guitar string that spelled S-A-D-I-E-S. After the show, Neko and the band got to my apartment--they were crashing with me--and stayed up until dawn playing records, the bond between musician dorks and label dork sealed over Coasters and Tarheel Slim sides.”
