Summer is finally here and Sloan kicked off their summer festival shows with a return to the Burlington waterfront last weekend. We've already announced most of our summer shows with a few more additions to be made soon as the concerts are announced by their promoters. Check the tour dates section for the latest listings. The municipal workers strike here in Toronto may keep our city's Canada Day celebrations to a dull roar, but just down the street in
Mississauga, Sloan will be playing a free, all ages show next Wednesday evening.
In other upcoming concert news, Sloan's murderecords labelmates Pony Da Look will be playing this Friday in Toronto: PONY DA LOOK with NIFTY + ANIMAL MONSTER + DJ Adrienne Sneaky Dee’s June 26 @ 9pm.
Will Currie and the Country French have almost completed their first full-length album and will continue to tour through the summer. This weeks' tour stops include: Hamilton, Montreal, Sarnia and St. Catharine's. Check their
website for details.
CBC 3 is a great online resource for the best in Canadian independent music and deserves plenty of support from musicians and fans alike. There is plenty of good company on this podcast!
As usual, Grant Lawrence officiates the mix and in classic form he manages to slip in a groan-y Sloan barb at the 23 minute mark. I suspect that Chris Murphy is already plotting his retaliation.

Due to bad weather, we were not able to fly to St. John's, and have had to cancel the show. Apologies to our friends on the Rock, we'll get out there as soon as we can. We are still planning on making the remainder of the dates scheduled.
