"Much of the show's charm comes from the banter between the two. Sara begins a long, convoluted story for which the destination is less interesting than the side roads; Tegan rolls her eyes in mock anguish and eventually sits down to hang her head in her hands. Tegan begins to tell her own pre-song story; Sara interrupts with waspish interjections." (read full article).

"Sara Quin and her identical twin Tegan, who together are the Canadian indie rock group known as Tegan and Sara, just turned 27, which was a milestone for the Juno-nominated singer-songwriters and may be the genesis of a period ripe with confidence and enough blog shout outs to set the Interwebs on fire."

"We just toured Europe and the whole tour we were the only fucking girls. And we didn't even think twice about it. We just get up on stage and do what we do. And for that 45 min, the audience is mine. It doesn't matter that I'm a girl or that I'm gay. Chances are they're going to like the music and they're going to like me. And if they do, all the other things like being a girl or being gay, become irrelevant." (read full article at Capital Xtra).

"After the success of Tegan and Sara's 2005 album, So Jealous, it's a rare occasion to see them in a venue that holds less than 1,000. So when the duo announced they would be touring parts of the United States and playing clubs with capacities of 300 to 400, tickets sold out in a nanosecond." (read AfterEllen).

The repetitive questions that show up in nearly every interview...
1. The Gay Issue:
Yes, they're both lesbians.
Tegan: "I never actually questioned my sexuality. I had a lot of gay friends. Sara started dating a girl when we were like, 15, and I feel like I always had this natural attraction for girls." (Spinner, 2007).
Tegan: "To align ourselves with that ( gay ) community and to be supported by that community is great for us, and for our music." (Windy City Times, 2005).
Sara: "It's always, 'Tegan and Sara's new record, they're gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, big fat gay, gay, gay, gay.' If it's an interview or an article in the gay press, that's OK. But why, in a review of a record, does it have to talk about us being gay? It's a music magazine; write about the goddamn music." (The Advocate, 2005).
Watch them talk about gay marriage here.
Watch them talk about labels (including sexuality) here and read about it here.
2. The White Stripes Cover:
Watch them talk about it at Spinner (at 1:31) or here.
Sara: "Meg (White) brought us a copy of the song while we were in Detroit doing a show, and told us that they were going to release it on a single. We love the band and think its an honor to hear them sing a song that we wrote!" (TheCheapPop, 2007).
Tegan: "“We were at Glastonbury and Meg White came to the show. She was very nervous and straight out asked us what we thought of the cover. It was weird because we are fans of The Stripes and Meg was nervous to be meeting us. It was a very nice compliment that they wanted to cover the song. I find The White Stripes fascinating. Business wise. Very prolific.” (TheDwarf, 2006).
3. Do they write together?
No.
Watch them talk about it here (at 1:08) and here (1:08, again).
Sara: "I write separately from Tegan. I sit on my bed, I take all of my recording equipment and I start recording guitar parts, looping hooks, singing vocal melodies, harmonies, stick clicks etc. then I eat food, and run back to my bed to listen to the song, I write lyrics, I go to bed. Over the next month I will change things slightly, then send mp3's to Tegan and she will send feedback. Inspiration is everywhere!" (Soulshine, 2006).
Tegan "We don’t live near each other so we just write separate. But it’s good. It’s kind of like being in your own band and then you get to bring it to someone who you trust and you know has good taste in music." (Kevchino).
4. Why "The Con?"
Watch them talk about it here or listen to them discuss it on NPR.
Tegan: "Is this really all just a con? Having a career, buying a house, getting married—do any of these things really give us comfort?” (Read Popmatters, 2007).
Sara: "So much of this record stems from me thinking about life and death that I was able to apply Tegan’s definition of The Con to my own experience. I was especially thinking about my grandpa. He spent 60 years with my grandma and he was devastated when she died. It wasn’t a happy thing; there was no joyous celebration of their life together. So when Tegan started explaining the record, I started thinking that these unions we make are basically a con." (Filter-Mag, 2007).
Tegan: “For me, the con was the act of keeping someone interested in you or convincing them to be interested and getting them to fall in love. Once you’re in love, all of the anxiety and emotions that come out, that’s the con. I was presenting so well, like I was fun, interesting, dynamic and charming, but it’s all a con.” (Six Degrees, 2007).

"Sara calls herself "a shoes and jacket kind of person" and "a total sneaker freak," naming PF Flyers as her favorite. Tegan, meanwhile is devoted to denim: Her closet and suitcase are filled with Levi's (her favorite), Nudie and Gsus jeans." (read WWD.com).

Sara had hives and feels high. Tegan has a green goop eye infection. Banter continues at 4:47.
Sara finds it weird to talk to Tegan when she is wearing sunglasses. Tegan thinks she is Bono. Banter continues at 3:10 -- little chat about sleeping in the van and having stuff stolen.
Tegan tries to shut Sara up. Chatting starts around 3:00 - impressing the record company via in-stores.
I can't remember if I posted these already or not.

"Tegan: I like to doze in the morning, and the apartment that I'm renting for the month has a very active alleyway, so there's a lot of drug use and screaming outside. But I guess hysterical, blood-curdling cries for help don't bother me that much that I can't sleep through them." (read full interview)
"Sara: We’re not scared. The point I’m trying to make is there’s a fear right now in America to just say . . . I feel it. Like when I come into the country, when I’m at a border crossing or whatever – I’m scared. I feel like a criminal and when I’m in Canada or certain countries, I feel like I could walk up to the head of our country and say “dude, you wanna play Hip Flip with me” and he’d be like “I don’t have time.”, but with President Bush, you might ask and pull out the plastic thing and then get shot."

"Tegan: I only write about the things I think about in my head. I don’t ask myself what it’s like to have a twin. I don’t ask what it’s like to be gay. I mean, I don’t know what it’s like not to be gay. I’m not struggling with these things. I’m struggling with trying to get a girl to fall in love with me. So the kinds of questions I ask myself — “Why did I get my heart hurt? Why did I pull away?” — are the things that end up in my songs." (read full article).
Old Interviews...
"Sara: I wrote about being really jealous, I'm talking intense jealousy, jealousy that I had never felt before. The thing that I loved about the chorus in that song is that 'I can't even work' it's like I'm exasperated with myself. I was like disabled by it. I was jealous of what I didn't have, what I used to have, what I wanted to have, and at that particular time I was sort of half-dating someone who was in a relationship, so it was an affair." (Read 'Sup Magazine, 2005).
"Tegan: I think we are artists who want to be remembered for our music and try to keep it focused on music but we are dynamic people and love the attention and love to talk and tell stories. We come from a long line of family who love to talk and tell tall-tales and it is fun to break-up the night with stories and quips. I also think it helped in the beginning to fill time when we had little material—and it breaks the nervous energy on stage for us so it is a big part of what we do now live. I think we are very salty." (Tweed).
