the reason I found out about this (and I am a pretty big Sloan fan- or was, or whatever, anyways I've seen them many times) is I was thinking of them in relation to the conversation above (regarding U2, Green Day etc) on bands that have been intact a long time- I believe sloan (although obviously a small scale band on the global stage- they are playing Dickens after all) has been a pretty stable 4 man collective for a long time- anyways in thinking about them this afternoon I looked them up and saw the sold out Dickens gig
the best time I saw them was likely either at the Bronx in Edmonton (the internet tells me that would have been Nov of 92) which would have been in support of Smeared a few weeks after it came out (and which I recall featured a lip synched version of Duran Duran's Planet Earth as part of the Encore) or the show in Halifax where they played Twice Removed front to back in 2010 as part of Halifax Pop Explosion
