Re: Sloan/geffen- I recall Nettwork cozying up to Sloan first. During the
ECMA when Sloan had there own showcase at the oo gallery? I can't recall
when exactly but I remember Nettwork being a possibility.
I think Sloan's success was due to jamming above Paper Chase on
Sunday nights so that you couldn't go downtown (or live downtown) without
hearing them. I met the guy who "discovered" Sloan from DGC at a late night
thing at the old murder space (Cafe Mokka). He divulged to me the secret
to Sloan's success; the reason they were signed: They were REALLY GOOD!
Sloan's LAST show- I read a funny review in Exclaim about there "last"
show in Windsor and about there endless series of "last shows". I
imagine that they keep getting offers to play and that the money's
good enough to make it worth there while. However, I was talking to
Patrick about the Coast's Best/Worst survey: on the question about
breakthrough band for '96 Patti replies: Sloan...
