Now for a slow one

After 20 years in action, I finally got around to seeing Sloan live. It was quite good, though I'm not as fond of audience singalongs as the Sloan crowd seems to be (getting stuck beside someone who can't hold a tune can be really brutal).

Jay Ferguson sings!



On our left, Patrick Pentland and Chris Murphy.



Singalong action!



They broke out the duct tape to celebrate their 20th anniversary.



Pat rocks the porkpie.



Homeboy Andrew Scott.



The crowd goes wild!



Jay frets!



Andy takes a turn at the microphone.



Jay shakes it!



I can hardly wait to see them again in 2031.
