Sloan? In Cranbrook? WTF.

Does anyone subscribe to the Sloan mailing list?  I know Mike does, or at least he did.  Anyway, they just released their second official bootleg album a few weeks ago.  The first bootleg was only limited to 100 pressings or something and sold out right away.  This time they pressed 500 copies and I actually got one this time.  It was recorded during the Australian tour for Between the Bridges.

435/500

In other Sloan news they are putting together a 3 LP package of Twice Removed and touring to support it and for some crazy reason they are playing Cranbrook!  According to the e-mail they play the entire album plus other career hits.  I wonder if Willie is still working at the Key City.  I wonder if they will be able to top Nickelback's Cranbrook show?  It will be legendary.

What now I'm supposed to read emails?

You should go to the show.
What's with Cranbrook being the cultural hotspot these days? Isn't Bob Dylan making his only canadian stop there?
It must be the where the tourbus runs out of gas from spokane or something..

I e-mailed Willie and he is now the Technical Director at the Key City. The entire town of Cranbrook has Willie alone to thank for Sloan coming to town. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
