Sloan is currently on tour to support their new five-song EP Hit & Run, and the Canadian alt-rock legends were in town for two local shows this past week. At Bell House on Friday night, Sloan bassist/vocalist Chris Murphy remarked that since the band only had to learn five new songs, the setlist would include a bunch of older numbers. As the packed-to-the-rafters crowd chanted their never-ending “Sloooooann” and sang along to every word, the band performed material dating back to 1996’s Juno Award Album of the Year One Chord or Another and best album nominee 1998’s Navy Blues, while selecting only a handful from their late 00’s output. The rowdy crowd demanded an encore and the band ultimately returned for four of them.
We recorded this set from our usual location in this venue and combined the audience microphones with a soundboard feed. While the crowd is abundant on the audience feed, the mix of the two sources reduces the crowd noise to a level that captures the feel of the venue without distracting from the listening experience. Enjoy!
Acidjack recorded the Maxwell’s show at that recording will be posted tomorrow.
