Tegan and Sara

smithnic

I am just getting into this newer band, but I am super impressed. I heard their single on the radio and plus they've been featured on Grey's Anatomy, which I painfully admit to watching quite religiously. Anyway, if you haven't, you should probably check them out.

not bad looking either

Hey,

Tegan and Sara rule! Funnily enough I'm wearing a Tegan and Sara shirt today - they are certainly one of the best Canadian Musical exports of late. All of their albums are great (This business of Art, If it was you, and So Jealous - there's an earlier indie album by them called 'Under Feet like Ours' - but most of the cool songs were redone on This Business of Art). They are great live too! (I would love it if they were tapped for the opening spot on the Canadian PJ tour!)

Glad you are getting into them...

Awesome, weird, I also just realized that I use one of their lines as my sig - I look like the biggest fanboy ever... (but I promise, I'm neither Tegan nor Sara in disguise...)

I don't mind the music, but those haircuts have got to go.
(there's a profound thought for my 1000th post).

I like them, I don't think i like them enough to own their album but they are tollerable. I saw them open for neil young on his 2000 tour.

Same here Bush Crew;) saw them open up for the Pretenders who in turn opened for Neil!!

I just can't get into the single "Walking with a ghost." I'm sure the rest of their stuff is better but I really don't like that song.

Nice to see all you Americans digging on our homegrown Canadian twin rock chicks! Can I interest you in some Bryan Adams?

By the way, just so we're clear, that last part was humour, okay? Don't ban me, please!

I knew someone would get me on this


I never have my proverbial finger on the pulse of new music. I just heard about the Shins just before Garden State, and I think there's this great new Seattle band that is touring Canada. I hope to check them out soon.

bought So Jealous on an impulse yesterday because I've heard of them. Very impressed with the album. Super catchy, good stuff

The music director for Grey's Anatomy would seem to be a big fan of Tegan and Sara. They've gotten lots of exposure on the show--which I also admit to watching faithfully.

I know I shouldn't watch such mindless TV, but at least they utilize good music.

i've never heard them before.

The Con is superb, look forward to hearing the new album. Great to see Chris Walla back in the producers seat too, love his sound.

EDIT: Anyone know when the new album is due out? I did hear the name of it recently but it's slipped my mind already

NOFX wrote a song about them on their latest album "Coaster." (Or "Frisbee" if you buy it on vinyl.) It's pretty funny, typical NOFX stuff.

Gotta say, I like T&S. First saw them around 2000 and picked up This Business of Art. I thought it was really good, so I've continued to follow them.

Still think their first two albums are the best. The Business of Art and Under feet like Ours.

Going to see them on monday! Hyped!

What's great about this thread being revived is that when I posted this, I had never listened to Tegan & Sara. It was only a couple months after this that Sainthood was released and a friend of mine hooked me up with a digital copy. How quickly I went down the rabbit hole and they turned into one of my top 5 current bands. (Though I admit I still don't own nor have listened to LYTD.)

They are touring and I think I missed them again...
