SHOWDOWN IN SILVERTOWN
The Sadies perform live to short films remixed
from classic spaghetti westerns by Niagara filmmakers

TRIKERS ATV PARK
4620 Buttrey St.
Niagara Falls, ON L2E 2X4

Standing only. Guests are welcome to bring a lawn chair.

The Sadies are gravel travellers, tearing down every concession from hell to Huronia and back again. The dust that kicks up in their wake is out of time, calling back to when Christ was a pimpled teen tuning a radio to Carl Perkins’ picking, Charlie Feathers’ creeping, and Earl Hookers’ sweat and toil. The dust won’t ever settle, it just grinds against your teeth as you watch the sun set through it. In the flash of saloon doors swinging, all the fantasies of the West — the gunslinger’s righteous slaying, the whores happy whoring, that pack of lies taller than the false front facades in those long gone boomtowns — will be made plain in notes as clear as a kestrel’s call bursting out of a Gretsch guitar.

The Sadies perform songs from their ‘Western Canon’ (those epic high noon instrumentals) live in the wilds of Silvertown to accompany short films chopped, braided and crafted from classic Spaghetti Westerns by Niagara filmmakers. The West wasn’t ever. It’ll never be the same.

The Rockin’ Horses kick things off at Sunset.
