Sloan

I'll admit that I wasn't expecting much from a free show, but Sloan has proven me wrong.
First of all, the venue was fantastic because I couldn't believe how amazing the sound was.
I went to the June 22nd show at The Mod Club and it certainly paled in comparison.
So getting my braces full of sand, haha sorry I mean shoes full of sand was totally worth it.
The eternal pessimist in me also didn't think it would be a very long set either, but it was!
And the songs played were perfect too.
Plenty of crowd pleasers such as Losing California and Money City Maniacs, but some old classics such as Underwhelmed and Penpals for veteran fans such as myself.
I think I was the only one who got overly excited when I heard Beverly Terrace though, which is my favourite song on the new album.
Ah Jay, his songs only get better over time!
I just about died when the that fabulous trio of horn players got on the stage though, especially when they got around to playing Everything You've Done Wrong.
Because to me, that song is never complete without the trumpets.
Anyway, this was an amazing show and I'd like to thank everyone who made it happen!
