Sloan

YAY! I can't wait. Have fun fellas.

Woo Hoo! New Sloan tunes! Do you reckon you could put some demos on the site along the way? That wld b rocktstic if you could!!

Long overdue...three years is just too long without new Sloan. You just made my day.

Excellent news! Can't wait to hear some new tunes. It's been a loooong time coming! *ahem*... And more shows later this year! That would be so cool if you happen to be playing Calgary around August 21st/22nd....as I'll be there on those days! Woo! But if you're not, then we're on the road travelling from Calgary to Vancouver for the next couple of weeks. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see you in YOUR homeland, instead of mine!

Keep up the great work guys and I look forward to hearing of more updates and seeing some Sloantastic photographs very soon!

Great news for a cold Monday! Looking forward to hearing some new music. See you guys in Winnipeg!

!!!!!!!!!

Now is the time for the 4 disk band album ala the kiss solo records. Package them in a 4 disk box and each band member can put their face on the cover of the cd with their tunes on it.............
In full kiss make-up (know).......... DO IT!!!! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think of the possibilities......

Thanks for the updates Mike. Please post tour dates as soon as available for those of us who want to travel to Sloan since Sloan so rarily comes to them ;)

Don't forget the Japan tour for this album~

NIKKI! CALGARY! HOLY COW!

I might actually be away by then headed off to school, but if I'm not, OH MAN. We will party.

Sloan! New album! These three words in combination make me a very happy fan. I hope this is the tour on which I will actually get to see you guys for the first time. ALL-AGES! ;)

yay a new album! hope you guys play some all ages shows in the Toronto-ish area

wow, great news!
thank you, Mike ;)

i think the new album is always like a LOVE LETTER from Sloan.
always make me happy.
but this year, will you come across the sea to DATE Japanese fans again in 4 years?

PLEASE SAY YES!!!

the Sloan's gig (yeah, date with Sloan) is always GREAT!
We still love sloan. REALLY!!!

Please flood the market with Sloan. Now is the time to ALSO release a B-sides/bonus tracks compilation. It is!

Sounds great, boys! I look forward to Andrew's songs about changing diapers...or perhaps he's ready to explore that nautical theme he was talking about in the linear notes of 4 Nights?

Thanks for the great news! I am soooo happy! Can't wait to hear some new Sloan. The thought will help keep me warm on these cold, cold Buffalo nights. Hope you come here this summer. Looking forward to new tunes, finally!

Take care and keep the updates coming.

Tell Jay that Haley would love to finally meet him in person. He's her fav. Personally I'm fond of all the guys.

Thanks, Mike.

<i>"Now is the time to ALSO release a B-sides/bonus tracks compilation. It is!"</i> I really think that is just wishful thinking, Monz. Will probably never happen. Bummer. But maybe if you push Patrick on it a little...

Good to hear things are still progressing, thanks for the update Mr. Mike.

(And give poor Mariko her Sloan Japan already!!!)

Woooo! I hope the song Jay did in London (ON) will be on the album!

And yes, a trip to Japan is in order!

Can't wait to see the tour dates and hear the new album live!

Too many exclamation marks . . . thanks, Mike.

Let us all know if the Kee is happening this year Mike! Thanks!

How 'bout an all Andrew album?

Also, when do we see a Murph/Andrew drum off? "It's been a long time coming".

thanks.

yup...Our Sloan street-team has been working very hard for SLOAN Japan tour. We e-mailed a lot (I mean...A LOT) to the promoter. Last year, Sloan had a chance to come to Japan with BOY, but it didn't come true.

*Jay, "I thought I was ready for you" is a brilliant song!
*Chris, it's so nice of you to support Nardwuar's DVD Release Launch!

I'm glad to hear there's a new record coming out. I'll be getting my copy when it first comes out. Now take your time you guys, get some rest and take some time off for yourselves.

love,

Mary Kathleen MacMaster

saw Sloan for the first time last summer opening for the Foo Fighters. Foos were awesome but Sloan was the highlight for me. dying to see another show.

I agree with Eight Second Forever. I'm biting my nails for a Kee date. I have a lot of planning to do....wardrobe planning....he he he

And don't forget sign planning, too!

NEVER foget the signs P4P!!!

What the fog?

Well, we are supposed to be getting some 'psychedelic' Patrick, so ... :P

Today a friend of mine told me he doesn't like "between the bridges" ; I told him he's an Idiot. Can't wait to see your show again!!

nice... I hope it's a good one. Keep pumpin out the rock, guys!! I've seen Sloan several times now.. if I can.. I will definetly see them again this time around. North of Toronto pls :) (play orangeville!!)
Happy to be a fan,
-Me.

I can hardly wait for new material guys. Looking forward to new music and seeing you live again. Oh - and thanks for playing the free shows in Pontiac, Michigan. Sweeeeeeeet!

Hey guys, how about some recording updates! Maybe an in studio webcam for everyone to catch that recording magic!

Hi! Another Japanese fan is here!
Thanks for the great news Mike!

Yes! We are still waiting for SLOAN to come to Japan!!
Please set the date for Japan tour this year!
PLEASE!!

I can't wait to hear a full new Sloan album. I work in a music store, and because they knew I was such a big fan, they would play the "A Sides Win" album during a lot of my shifts. Music World Scarborough Town Center has a lot of love for Sloan (at least when I'm there). Too bad Music World has terrible selection for Sloan albums. But let's not get into that right now...

There's been a big musical void in my life for the past 3 years. I really need some new Sloan. This is great news!

Please tell me you are using a different producer than the guy who did Action Pact. Also, pleae tell me there will be Andrew songs and Jay ballads. They were sorely missed on the last record...

And...please stop skipping Saint John when you tour Atlantiic Cnada. We are the largest market in New Brunswick (and have the most vibrant music scene in the province)!

Craig

Jaysus crikey! Hey Mike N. I'm booking shows here in SF. Slims, The Independent and Cafe Du Nord, etc.... ha ha! so if you need support for any SF shows and LA too, i have 3 great support bands who are musically compatible and would add new names to yer mailing list by a few ;)

hope you are well! can't wait to see the gang on the west coast.

San Fran

New album AND touring around May?!? My pants are flinging...

Hi! I am waiting Your full new Sloan album!

Can't wait for the new album - been looking forward to new Sloan albums for the past 10 years now. Can you believe Smeared is 15 years old now!!!

Don't forget about good old Michigan when you tour!

wow, great news <a href=http://www1.blox.pl/resource/index.html>!</a>

thank you, Mike ;)

So did anyone catch the new Sloan song at iTunes? :(

You have to be registered with iTunes (free) and have the iTunes software on your computer in order to download it (yesterday, it was free... today?).

Yes, you noticed the sad smilie. My heart's broken. Up until "Try to Make It", I was a dyed-in-the-wool Sloan fan. I'm hoping it's a non-album track, and not the first single. Remembering the shock upon hearing "Money City Maniacs" the first time after thoroughly enjoying the "Twice Removed", "One Chord to Another" and "Songs Recorded Live at a Sloan Party!" albums, only to seriously warm up to it on repeated listens, I hoped my initial feeling would pass when I would hear it more than once. Maybe it's just me. I'm hoping it's just me.

Sorry guys, I can't cheer for you on this one. Still, I wish you the best, and I'm hoping my discomfort is only a one-song thing, after the addictive Action Pact.

Oh, and re: B-Sides/Bonus Tracks compilation

Not counting anything coming out around the new album (and presuming "...Sloan Party!" remains unreleased by itself in North America), there is enough _previously_ _released_ B-sides, bonus tracks, and scattered demoes/non-album tracks to fill 2 80-minute CD's, or four vinyl... and this was counted back in the "Pretty Together" days. Only two tracks in my tally aren't credited to Sloan: "Guidance Counsellor" and "Gimme the Keys". And only one hasn't appeared anywhere: "Snowsuit Sound (demo)" (originally slated for "Les Amis du Sloan" cassette release). Talk about something being "a long time coming".

Last played: Utopia - "Utopia". Great stuff if you're a fan of the more pop-radio-friendly Sloan side. Just thought I'd throw that in.
