I just got back from seeing Sloan at the Dakota. It was a benefit for War Child. I think they're the ones who make sure child soldiers get REALLY good guns?? Too Dark? Likely. I LOVED the show. They are such a great band. Great melodies, and inventive parts, mixed with the soap opera that is playing with the same group of dudes for 18 years! It was a night of obscure tracks, and stuff they don't often play. At one point Murphy introduced a song saying it was "from NO ONE'S favorite album", and then added "It's sort of our "Born on a Pirate Ship". It was a lovely nod to Kev, Jim, and I who were all there enjoying the show. He's dead at recess. It was ragged, rough, and immediate... and it really hit the spot. Sloan, Thanks for nearly 2 decades of great songs, and one hell of a show tonight. Cheers.
