We have sold all of the advance tickets for tomorrow night's murderecords showcase at Supermarket.

There will be a very limited number of tickets available at the venue Thursday night. Please come early if you still need to buy tickets, or want to get in with your Canadian Music Week wristband.

Looking forward to a fun night. Hope to see you there!

Jay will be on Toronto's The Edge 102.1 today at 4:20pm EST speaking with Bookie about murderecords’ new releases, the murderecords CMW showcase, and what Sloan have been getting up to recently.

If you’re nowhere near a radio in Toronto, you can listen in on-line on The Edge’s website: www.edge102.com.

Sloan are happy to be hosting a label showcase at this year's Canadian Music Week to promote our exciting new spring line-up on murderecords. Sloan have owned and run murderecords over the past 16 years.

The night will feature showcase performances by new murderecords artists: Will Currie & the Country French and Pony Da Look. We will also be joined by our friends the Meligrove Band. Sloan will be performing a showcase set of mostly new material from their forthcoming album due to be released on murderecords later this spring.

Advance tickets are now available for $13 through Ticketbreak . A limited number of tickets have been held for fans to purchase in advance using the special promo code CMWSLOAN. There will also be limited tickets available at the door for $15, and CMW wristbands will be honoured as space allows.

Sloan's "Keepin' The Tour Alive" has been nominated for DVD of the Year at this year's East Coast Music Awards. This year's awards will take place in Fredericton in early February. The director of the DVD, Kevin Hilliard is planning to make the journey to New Brunswick and is actively cajoling members of Sloan to join him. We'll see if anybody takes him up on the offer.

Hilliard traveled with Sloan on their Action Pact tour filming hours upon hours of live footage and behind the scenes antics. The DVD is available via Sloan's online store. Since word of the nomination, they've been going fast, so I have shipped extra stock to our retailer. Check back soon if we run out.

If you happen to be a member of the East Coast Music Association, please vote (preferably for us).

Sloan's "Never Hear The End Of It" was released in the US on the first week of January 2007. As we welcome the new year, it is nice to see the album making it onto some year-end top album picks. Here are some notable links:
