It seems these days everybody wants a piece of The Sadies. Hailed as one of Canada’s best live bands, they took the stage at London Music Hall Saturday night, where Glen Matlock of Sex Pistols fame became the latest to join the psychedelic surf-country band.

This was the third night of the joint venture cleverly titled “Nevermind the Sex Pistols … Here’s Glen Matlock,” featuring The Sadies as openers and closers to Matlock’s acoustic set.

The Sadies  –– who have played with the likes of Greg Keelor, Garth Hudson and Gord Downie, to name a few greats –– started the evening with their trademark introduction of rattling guitar strings and twangy resonance as guitarist Dallas Good welcomed a crowd of various demographics.

The first set consisted of standard Sadies fare. The guitar playing of brothers Travis and Dallas Good was impeccable. They didn’t miss a note, despite the manic pace of some of their more upbeat numbers, and ballads such as “Strange Birds” showcased the softer side of the otherwise energetic group.

Soon enough, the first set was over and the stage was set for Matlock, one of the original members of the Sex Pistols who was later replaced by Sid Vicious. Since then, Matlock has established himself as a respected musician having worked with innumerable names in the punk community and beyond.

His acoustic set introduced members of the crowd to his work with The Philistines, as songs like “Ghosts of Princes in Towers” demonstrated the pop sensibilities of his music. “You guys might remember this one,” he said before the opening chords to “God Save the Queen,” the first of two songs from Matlock’s time with the Pistols. “Pretty Vacant” had the crowd yelling along, with some fans even taking the stage to a warm welcome from the dapper Matlock.

The set was a little more relaxed than The Sadies’ performance, but as they took the stage once more, they invited Matlock back up for a rendition of “Treat Her Right,” originally recorded by Roy Head and the Traits.

The show finished with a five-song encore by The Sadies, which was capped off by their song “Tiger, Tiger.” The finale was a true testament to the showmanship of the group — they’re incredibly tight-knit, and represent the spirit of the touring band.

While the union of The Sadies and Glen Matlock may seem a bit strange, the versatility of both acts showed they could jam on the moon if given the chance.
