Just another reason for going to college: Sloan will be doing a series of College and University shows in Ontario. Sadly, these shows are closed campus, which means you must enroll to attend.
And for the hometown folk: Sloan will be headlining Edgefest II in Halifax - Citadel Hill, Sept 13th!
Fans can find Sloan's Juno showcase gig archived at the official Junos site, along with the band's recently televised performance on Open Mike and follow-up interview with Patrick and Chris...

The arrival time for the showcase will be 7:00pm- 7:20pm, and it will be located at the Masonic Temple (888 Yonge Street, at the corner of Yonge and Davenport) in Toronto.
If anyone is interested, they can call (416)934-4758 and just leave their full name, phone number they can be reached at and the number of tickets they would like. Someone will call them back as soon as they can to book them if there is space available."
Chris and Patrick will be dropping by Edge 102 on Friday, March 22nd to perform three songs live. They're set to show up at about 6:50 pm ET, but fans can also listen live on the web at the station's official site.
Sloan have been nominated for two Juno Awards for "Best Single" (If It Feels Good Do It) and "Best Rock Album" (Pretty Together). This year, the show takes place in St. John's NFLD, and will air nationally on April 14 on CTV (8pm ET).

Several paintings by Andrew are currently on display as part of the show (two blue dogs named "Kim & Kelly Deal". Mwaha.) The show runs till Feb 28 at the 64 Steps Contemporary Arts gallery (1164 Queen W., Toronto.)
