Yup, the Sadies rocked. Good crowd, GREAT sound. It was nice to finally get to hear some of their new material. Real bummer about Hudson, but I was planning on coming out either way, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me. I thought the opening band was good too. They were SUPER tight, and hard driving. Not sure exactly how I would describe their sound... at first they almost reminded me of the Ramones a little bit, but that's not really an accurate/comprehensive descriptor... I enjoyed all of the extra space in the Casbah last night as well. Makes sense to remove those tables out of there that used to be in the front of the room (for packed shows anyways)... a little more breathing room, which this pregnant lady (who likes to dance) appreciates.
