woah hold up so I've

woah hold up so I've completely missed an album??? Cool. I have So Jealous and If it Was You... do you know the name of the other album?

Also have you heard their live cover of 'Dancing in the Dark?'

Albums

Sorry for butting in but just in case you were wondering..... They actually have four albums out already, working on their fifth, talks of it being out in July.

Their two albums before So Jealous and If It Was You are This business of Art and Under feet like ours but that was when they were known as Sara and Tegan!

 

Not that I'm a fan or anything...............

Certainly not a fan :P Good

Certainly not a fan :P Good to know though!

Their cover of dancing in

Their cover of dancing in the dark is fantastic. It was recorded by an Australian radio station as part of a covers cd they do every so often.

If you can't find it on the net I can send it to you.

New TnS song

Just read that their new record " the con" will be released in the states July 24th.  They haven't stated when it will cross over internationally yet. From the looks of the lyrics it's not a "let's run through the flowers" kind of song, which works for me ;p

shiggity's picture

where have lyrics been

where have lyrics been posted? i know they've already put out the tracklisting but i haven't seen any lyrics, but anyway the track listing doesn't seem to be over the top happiness either which is another of the gazillion reasons i love them.
artsy22's picture

lyrics

Their new lyrics are posted on their website. I think TeganandSara.com
oohshiny's picture

t/s words

i use songmeanings.net for t/s lyrics. or the inserts from the albums (i'm a nerd, and i like album art, so i just buy the cds.)

the lyrics are posted by users, so occasionally there will be some errors, but they are correct for the most part. i haven't seen any on the t/s website, particularly now that they're in transition for The Con.

there's also teganandsara.org which is a fan-run site. lyrics for every song, although I've also found a few errors there. ah well, what can you do?

i'm so freakin excited for their new album. im setting very high expectations.

Spreading the T&S Looooove...

Most of the time I can't tell them apart but they're awesome none the less!!

FAve song = Living room.
2nd fave song = hmmm..... I'll have to think about that one.

if anyone want demos/bsides/unreleased stuff, i'm more than happy to give it to you. i'll send you pretty much anything you want of theirs. as long as it's not full albums because i rather you just buy it to support tegan and sara. just IM me on aim. my sn is planecrashins. if you don't have aim, i'll figure something out
gypsieshex's picture

WOOT!!

I freakin' love Tegan and Sara! They're my favorite band. They're both so talented and gorgeous.

...on tour!

Tegan and Sara have announced the first round of tour dates for this summer!!

 they are listed on the t/s myspace site and the t/s official website

 check out the dates ASAP cause tickets go on sale this friday, and the rooms at these venues are SMALL!! they are mostly indie record stores i think.

anyway, hooray for Tegan and Sara on tour!!

Tegan

Tegan lovers (and sara lovers, and equal-likers) will really enjoy this article:

 

http://www.spinner.com/2007/06/11/rockin-out-interview-tegan-and-saras-tegan-quin/

 

it's an incredibly rare occasion when either of the twins talks about being gay or coming out, so this article is a gem.

 wow good find...i think

 wow good find...i think ive only heard them once talk about being gay

 

"she kills, with foreign films, the emptiness of day to day"

LetsDoCoffee's picture

yep good find indeed

I love their on stage banter... it's like a comedy show and concert all in one. They've mentioned it on stage a couple of times when I saw them in Vancouver... Sara was making fun of Tegan and her relationship antics. Tegan = hotness me thinks.
heylove's picture

i downloaded the con a few

i downloaded the con a few days after it leaked. amazing amazing amazing. they just ooze talent. and hotness. and hilarity. i can't wait to get the actual album for the dvd that comes with it.

Are they EVER going to tour in Texas? I've been waiting for quite some time, and I'm getting pretty durn tired of waiting.

Woo up and down 35 for Tegan and Sara! Totally worth it.

homeslice's picture

woo!

listening right now...

I'm listening to The Con right now. Uh-MAZ-ing. They are such a talented duo. I had to laugh...I was at a friends house the other night who is older and a lesbian (and doesn't know that I am). I requested that she put on the new Tegan and Sara album, she responded with, "You're a fan of Tegan and Sara?!?!"

Me: Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Her: I wouldn't tell to many people that. They'll think you're gay, for sure.

Me: Uhm..I don't care? Just put on Nineteen. (chuckling one the inside)

 ...a million hours left to think of you and think of that...

MycaTaylor's picture

Love them

Yeah, I couldn't stop myself from downloading the new album. I mean its not like I'm not going to buy it when it comes out, but god I love it. I'm still waiting for the girls to come near VA again, I missed it last time when they went to the 9:30 club in DC.

 

 

I don't want to doubt you
Know everything about you
I don't want to sit
Across the table from you
Wishing I could run.....

9:30 Club

I'll definitely be at the 9:30 club if/when they play there again. And if they're ever in Philly again, I'll be there as well. I couldn't get tickets to their tour now since they pretty much sold out in the first 72 hours. Uf!

*On a sidenote: I'll be at the 9:30 club on August 11th to see Mae and hopefully on August 22 to see Copeland. And, if I'm lucky, to see The Format on the 25th!
