SLAVE to the SQUAREwave Discography

Since we are heading into the Slave's Diesel Playhouse show this weekend, I thought I'd put together a reasonably comprehensive discography for the band. Many thanks to Rob for all his assistance in compiling the information that I'm passing along here!

Please note that this discography is a work in progress and I will be adding additional details as I can. Anyone with additional information to add to the discography, please leave me a comment!

Featured Artist

Today, for my SLAVE to the SQUAREwave feature, I'm going to feature a few tracks that were standouts for me from the times I've seen them play live!

First up is the first track I heard by the Slaves, the one that really jumped out at me, and is still one of my favourites: Sinners of St. Avenue.



SLAVE to the SQUAREwave - Sinners of St. Avenue

Next is another great track: Thank You Very Much which I believe first appeared on a limited edition release called Songs From "The Gardens"



SLAVE to the SQUAREwave - Thank You Very Much

Finally for today's post is the Slave's cover of the Rush classic Tom Sawyer which was featured on the album The Future Is Square



SLAVE to the SQUAREwave - Tom Sawyer

Keeping up the Slave's theme, here's a little promo video that the they came up with for the Diesel Playhouse Show...
