Cranbrook gets Slowned!

Way back on September 13th Sloan rocked the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook.  Willie as we all know is the technical director there and got to meet the band and hang out with them and stuff.  It's taken a while, but here are Willie's thoughts on the show and some pictures.

"My review of the concert...I'll try not to go on and on and on...but it was REALLY good. The audience could have been and SHOULD have been bigger, but those that didn't go just missed out. Some people are SO lame. Anyways...the people who were there were really into it but didn't really show it that first set...it kinda makes sense as they played all of Twice Removed...there are a few upbeat numbers, but for the most part it IS kinda mellow. So there wasn't a lot of give and take so talking to Chris during intermission he was saying how he doesn't care where they play, just as long as it's full. It could be a 300 max capacity club or a 10,000 seat arena, it doesn't matter as long as it's full so there is easy give and take between the band and the audience. Well, they picked it up a bit and gave us a barrage of songs from their entire career so far...and the audience picked it up as well...people got up out of their seats, and danced and moved and grooved at the front of the stage...it was awesome. Sloan got more into it, the audience got more into it, it was great! Chris was hilarious, crackin' jokes and his drumming moves looked awkward and hilarious at the same time. They were all super nice guys...it was a great day and night at work."

Oh yeah, "Lamps" is their lighting guy and he's been doing a blog about each of their stops...I haven't checked out the Cranbrook entry yet...funnily enough."

Willie and Lamps in the "booth". 

 The first set and the crowd is all mellow.

 The second more rocking set.  People are standing and getting into it.

OMG, Willie and Sloan!!

At least Willie can take a picture with them and not look like a complete spazz like some people. *coughcamcough*

Sounds like a good show, too bad they won't be back!  Willie said if they had sold like ten more seats then the theatre would've broken even.  I still don't know why they didn't sell more tickets, lame Cranbrook.  Willie has lots more to say about the show like Patrick had the gout, their tour bus was last used by Snoop Dogg, oops Snoop Lion, and don't even think about trying to eat lunch with Jay cuz he's a dick.  I'm sure he'll tell you more if you just ask him.

I guess Chris was impressed with Willie's orange Sloan t-shirt which I gave him quite a while ago.  The band all signed it which is cool because I was only lending it to Willie and now I'd like it back thank you very much.

One last thing, Willie mentioned Lamps aka Kevin Hilliard writing a blog about each stop on the tour.  You can check out his Cranbrook entry here.
