FUSE with Gord Downie & The Sadies

FUSE with Gord Downie & The Sadies

Posted by Amanda Putz on Nov 16, 2007
The enigmatic Gord Downie fronts laureates of Canadian rock The Tragically Hip (arguably one of the best band names of all time). The Sadies are purveyors of full-on, blasting country music. They teamed up for an ear-splitting, heart-pounding edition of Fuse this week.

You'll hear Gord crooning tunes by Johnny Cash, The Stooges, and Guided By Voices while The Sadies drive the melodies along on guitar, drums, and bass.

It airs Saturday at 3:00 pm on Radio One. Listen online when it's 3:00 pm somewhere in Canada!

    Can't Wait to Listen

    I can't wait to listen to it but never got to experience it at the actual taping. :)
    Although, it was a "consolation" of sorts having to see you at Barrymore's for The Acorn concert on Friday night than missing out on the Fuse taping. :)
    Oh man, soooo late writing this comment.

    LOL no. :)

    Although, my ears are still ringing from the concert.
    I kept thinking about the topic you mentioned on your show this past week on loud music.

    This sounds like it was fantastic, but I missed it! Is there any way that I could listen to it? Is it posted somewhere in CBC radioland?

    great sounds, wonderful fusion

    Amanda - your intro to this was hilarious, humble and heartfelt. What a great fusion of Canadian sounds! I was just listening to the latest R3 podcast at home in my kitchen with the kids, and then this comes on R1 as I'm running errands, driving through downtown Peterborough! my only complaint was that I couldn't hear Gord sing in stereo on R1. - John K.

    however, I did manage to see The Sadies that night and they were fantabulous!

    Fuse is coming to R3...

    Posted on Nov 19, 2007 by Putzy
    Hey folks, I SO appreciate your e-love about our show. It really is a humbling experience to be at the helm when two Can-rock heavyweights like these Fuse it up. I saw The Hip about 13 times in five years from Grade 11 onward. My appreciation of Gord is as real as it gets.

    Anyway...

    In less than a week, we hope, Fuse will be streamed right here on the Concerts & Sessions section of the site. The Hosts with the Most: R3 rules!
