One of Toronto’s hardest-working bands once again takes part in what’s become a local tradition: New Year’s with the Sadies at the ’Shoe. This time, the group’s also got a new album to promote, its first studio disc in three years. New Seasons (2007) is a powerful example of the Sadies’ prowess, featuring everything from twang-laden country to surf tunes to heart-wrenching balladry to freewheeling psychedelia. The band’s two front men, Dallas and Travis Good, wield their guitars with equal degrees of precision and abandon. The Horseshoe crowd gets two sets of the Sadies’ brand of action, plus an opening set by Brit-centric Ottawa retro combo the John Henrys.—Jason Anderson
