Canada band Sloan averts disaster in San Diego
Singer Chris Murphy deems the evening "awesome" from the stage
Sloan took a short intermission and then returned for what would be a gift of a second set.
In the 1990s, four Canadians known collectively as Sloan took their home country by storm with a collection of albums that fused the alternative nation with the paramount aspects of classic rock. The group never broke as big in the United States, so it’s likely only their hardcore devotees were even familiar with One Chord to Another — the 20-year-old album they were playing on this evening.

"The Good in Everyone"
...off of Sloans One Chord to Another
The band blasted out of the gates with album opener “The Good in Everyone,” a perfect song, one of the best “track ones” in existence. They proceeded to march through the rest of the album with “G Turns to D,” “The Lines You Amend,” and closer “400 Metres” being highlights.
The band took a short intermission and then returned for what would be a gift of a second set. They basically sprinkled crowd favorites (“Money City Maniacs,” “Losing California”) together with classic deeper cuts — such as the pristine Andrew Scott–penned “Sinking Ships” off their 1998 album Navy Blues. Another random inclusion was the AM radio on steroids “Don’t You Believe a Word” dug up from their 1999 album Between the Bridges. The band once again tapped into this album for the first song of their encore set, the majestic “The Marquee and the Moon.”
At one point singer/bassist/drummer (the band shuffles instruments onstage) Chris Murphy revealed to the crowd that while planning the tour they were advised not to play San Diego because it would be “a disaster.” An enthusiastic crowd seemed to prove the naysayers wrong, as he deemed the evening to be “awesome” from the stage.
