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.
Releasing February 27 via Arts & Crafts, Live At 6 O’Clock captures the electricity of Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering Sun at their zenith. Featuring eight lightning strike performances selected from four festival sets – including covers of Roky Erickson, The Who, Neil Young, The Gun Club, The Stooges, and two originals from the debut album – Live At 6 O’Clock is a rare document of Downie and The Sadies’ legendary energy in supremely elevated punk rock form.
Today the band shares a video of "If You Have Ghosts", the fervent opening of 'Live At Six O'Clock,' a possessed and reverent take on the song originally performed by psych-rock visionary Roky Erickson. Captured in the thick of Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering Sun’s 2014 summer tour, the performance finds the band locked in a feverish communion.
