The revered Halifax act Sloan brings their One Chord To Another 20 year anniversary tour to Edmonton this weekend, playing a sold out gig at the Needle Vinyl Tavern on Friday. The indie rockers have managed to retain their four member roster throughout their evolutions and devolutions, from their debut full-length Smeared in 1992, through 2014’s Commonwealth.
One Chord To Another holds a special place in the hearts of many Sloan fans, of course. Their third full-length, it included such hits as The Good In Everyone, Everything You’ve Done Wrong, and The Lines You Amend. It was during the release of this album, and the next, 1998’s Navy Blues, that the band hit their peak popularity. The latter included arguably their biggest ever hit, Money City Maniacs, which is still regularly played on any number of radio stations across the nation to this day.
Indications are that the band will play the entire album in a first set, and then play a second set featuring songs from other albums, including some deeper cuts that Sloan hasn’t typically played live in some time, if ever.
The band will also be re-releasing One Chord in a deluxe package sometime this year to further commemorate the anniversary.
