spfreak · 11-04-2003, 09:27 PM

im seeing them this friday at the Kool Haus, im going cuz my friend insisted that i attend the event

the thing is, i dunno much of their stuff, except their popular songs i guess.... and i gave their new album a listen ... but my memory sucks, and i don;t think i liked it too much, or maybe it was something else.... who knows

is there anything i should download to get an idea of what i should expect at the show??? :erm they don't seem like my kinda band....

theres a guy on the cover of that album who looks like stuart copeland. i wanted to buy it, but then i realized thats a pretty fucking stupid reason to buy an album.

Jerry Sloan?

Tessellation · 11-04-2003, 11:31 PM

the only song of theirs that I know is "the other man", which I love.

They will play all their hits, which you will recognize from Canadian radio.
I have seen them twice, and they do put on a good show. At edgefest last year they covered ACDC's jailbreak with the guys from FUBAR and gob.
classic.

download navy blues. way awesome. they tend to play like 2 or 3 songs from each album.

Saw them a few weeks ago...the show wasn't great coz both singers blew their voices apparently a show or two before! But yeah...they're pretty rockin' live.

Groan.

there's a game we play at indie shows in toronto. it's "how many sloan members can u spot in the audience tonight?"

THRILLHO · 11-05-2003, 12:47 AM

they're like 40 and have grey hair now. it's sad and scary.
as much as they lost it, their new single and video is pretty cool.

strange_one · 11-05-2003, 06:09 AM

their last few records have been pretty shitty, but Navy Blues is brilliant

well at least the Kool Haus serves alcohol. Spend your money on a lot of booze & let the time fly by. Sloan leaves me underwhelmed if that's a word. They are now like a bad early Beatles cover band.

on a sidenote one of the buddies I jam with insists that back in the day the Sloan drummer ripped off his drum setup/look/style after they played at the same gigs a few times...whether it's true or not i don't really give a fook, it's just funny to hear him bitch about it all these years later.

I'm all about One Chord to Another. That album is fucking rad.

alisonmonster · 11-05-2003, 09:20 PM

i think sloan's a little overated but "California" is a good song.

Yes. They haven't put out anything that even comes CLOSE since this record. In my opinion.
