Sloan

Thanks for posting the setlist, the original poster was right about Everything You've Done Wrong and the one they didn't recognize from Andrew was "People of the Sky."

This was another awesome Sloan show at the Black Cat, the crowd was not huge but they were very enthusiastic, singing along. Chris and Patrick were very funny and they seem to be looser and having more fun every time I see them play. Their new schtick was having a DJ at the merchandise table, playing songs between sets and interviewing Chris and playing fake commercials while they changed instruments onstage. There was a lot of back and forth between Chris and the DJ (Skip Lowe)- it was kind of clever and very silly.

I thought the Golden Dogs were their best opener yet and Sloan came out to watch them -- Andrew even offered his guitar when the singer broke a string onstage and proceeded to string/tune it as he sang, which is a pretty impressive talent. Their set ended a bit early when they reported they busted the bass drum that Andrew lent them and sure enough the techs were tending to it immediately.

Some other cool things included seeing Patrick biking around the neighborhood as we parked before the show. Also, there was a very pregnant woman right up front during the show, which I thought was very cool (and possible now that DC has outlawed public smoking). Anyway, can't wait for Sloan to come back to DC!
