Sloan

And more HERE. There are some seriously fun bands involved in this, it will be a good time.

And a strip-tease to Pick It Up & Dial It? "People people! This is a <i>poll</i>!" That's sheer brilliance!

Sa-WEEEEET!

Sloanageness in The big T.O.! This is going to be awesome. Anyone know what time it'll get underway? And there better not be a restriction against minors... :P

I've given thought to putting a Sloan tribute band together (for fun of course) but am not sure how Sloan fans would react or even if the idea would be accepted by them.

This seriously sounds so cool! I wish I could be there to see it.

Have fun everybody!

Rick, from what I gather, I think most of us (i.e. Sloan fans) would be pretty into the idea. I would say we're a pretty fun loving bunch, no? :P

Ruh, I would agree that Sloan fans are a pretty fun loving bunch. :)
If I could find a few other Sloan fans that play music it could be done. I myself think it would be something cool. Thanks for the reply Ruh.

Glad to hear it. ;) If I lived near you, I'd do it, but alas, I fear you are not a Calgarian. Maybe one day.

How bout some news on new material. I think we've waited long enough. I'm going through Sloan withdrawl. They'd better not just quit after this greatest hits album. I know they're still touring but you never know....

No worries Colin, they are far from done! They are about to record a new CD. Should see some results of their labor in the spring.

Hey! The show last night was really cool. Good to see Chris and Jay there.
I'll never look at Snowsuit Sound the same way again.

Leah, are we talking this spring or next :P?

This Spring, Sources point to "YES"

Ruh- quit blowing my cover ;)

there is an AWESOME tribute record that's been out for a while now where Detroit indie rock bands cover songs by SLOAN, ERIC'S TRIP, THRUSH HERMIT, SUPERFRIENDZ and lots of other Canadian bands
plumlinerecords.com is where you can get it, and I think you can order it through Sonic Unyon too.

My review & photos of the Tribute Show, for what it's worth - ARE HERE.

Thanks to all those who came out. And to those bitching about it elsewhere, lighten up and broaden your horizons a tad. Serious props to you, Chris & Jay, for braving the (occassionally) shark-infested waters that night at the Boat. It was all with love, with LOVE, dammit!

Read the review and it sounds like it was great.

GlassTigerGrl - SORRY, hahahah! I totally didn't even realise you hadn't posted under your real name. Too used to your screennames by now. A thousand apologies.

Summer tour? I'm crossing my fingers til they break ...

Oh Ruhee, you adorable one!
We will all hope for a Calgary all ages stop for you.
Who knows..Mind if I join you?

HEY SLOAN.

HERE IS SOME ADVICE:

RELEASE YOUR ALBUM IN THE SPRING. THAT WAY YOU HAVE THE SUMMER TO TOUR NEW STUFF. YOU ALWAYS RELEASE ALBUM IN LATE SUMMER OR FALL, AFTER WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD SUMMER OF ENJOYMENT FOR FANS.

I JUST REMEMBER BEING A TEENAGER IN 1996 AND DRIVING AROUND LISTENING TO ONE CHORD TO ANOTHER AND LIVING IT UP. OR GOING TO PATIO PARTIES IN THE SUMMER AND HAVING PLAY ON THE PATIO OR BACK PORCH. THAT KIND OF THING HAS NOT BEEN EXPERIENCED BY NEWER, YOUNGER SLOAN FANS IN QUITE SOME TIME OR EVER.

DO IT SOON
MIKE

Haywire - I don't mind at all except I can't figure out who you are! XD Clearly you are using a different username than I am used to or something.
