Sloan Talk B-sides On CBC
Jay and Chris will be on CBC Radio's DNTO this afternoon talking about their recent b-side collection, and the nature of b-sides in general.
DNTO can be heard at 2pm on Radio 1, or via a multitude of podcasts, streams and re-broadcasts. Details can be found on their website: http://www.cbc.ca/dnto/
26 Sloan Rarites Now Available!
Hello Hello,
Dig, if you will. We're pleased to offer you the latest release on our digital Sloan store, the self explanatory collection named "B Sides Win: Extras, Bonus Tracks and B-Sides 1992-2008". 26 tracks! $9.99! ...and a new digital booklet with track by track commentary from Andrew, Chris, Patrick and myself.
These are songs that didn't appear on any of our commercially released Canadian LPs over the years. Instead, they surfaced on compilations, as extras tracks on the Japanese versions of our albums, as B-sides to vinyl and CD singles and other tucked away corners. A number of these tracks were added on to their appropriate digital LPs when we launched our online store last autumn.
Due to insanely screaming demand and some gentle prodding, we've decided to collect those tracks (along with even more) and give them their very own album. Now, some hardcore Sloan followers may notice a couple omissions... but fear not, you completists!.. we're hopefully planning for those specific tracks to see the light of day on our digital store as part of more releases in the future.
At the edge of the scene,
Jay

If anybody has a line on ice time at your local rink, please let me know. A few of the guys will have their hockey gear and an afternoon skate is always a treat.
Sloan Add Shows in Cleveland and Chicago
I am happy to announce that Sloan will be returning to perform at the legendary Grogshop in Cleveland Heights on Sunday the 6th of December. We have also added a Chicago show. This will be our first time playing at Lincoln Hall. It looks like a great place to spend Monday Dec. 7th.
Both of these shows are being announced today and tickets should be available tomorrow.
I will be able to announce some Canadian dates very soon. Stay tuned!
