New Sloan Videos In the Works
For those keeping track, Sloan shot a video for Andrew's "I've Gotta Try" when we were in LA in January. It has been a long time coming, but we should soon have some news about it's imminent release.
In the mean time, we have been working with friend and filmmaker Michael Leblanc on some Super 8 videos for some of the shorter songs on "Never Hear The End Of It". I have attached a few photos from our recent video shoot.
Vive La France!
For all of the francophones and francophiles in the Sloanmusic readership, I would like to introduce you to a new Sloan fan site for our French friends.
Chris recently responded to an in-depth e-interview (that was translated--his french isn't that hot). The transcript can be found here, along with a growing archive of past articles.
Merci Thierry! Hope we can play more shows in France and Quebec before long!

Studied Slobs.
Not sure that this counts as "news" per se, but it is entertaining. Here is a link to a video from The Austinist in which SXSW scenesters are asked to describe their personal style. Jay and Andrew made the cut.

Yep Roc Showcase Video
Here is a decent sounding clip from Sloan's Yep Roc showcase last Friday night at South By Southwest. In classic YouTube form, it is out of synch. Anybody know how to avoid that?
