HEY EVERYONE!


It’s just over a week until we start The Honda Civic Tour with Paramore, New Found Glory and Kadawatha! Sara and I are so excited to get back on the road! It’s been a busy year and it’s about to get WAY busier and we LOVE IT! Sara and I are adding 5 shows (2 of which we’ve already announced) of our own! These are HEADLINE SHOWS that are completely separate from the HCT.


The shows are as follows :


July 25 - The Norva - Norfolk, VA - with guest Hesta Prynn
July 29 - Higher Ground - Burlington, VT - with guest Hesta Prynn
August 17 - Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines, IA
*August 30 - The Orange Peel - Asheville, NC
*August 31 - WorkPlay Soundstage - Birmingham, AL
*September 11 - Cain’s Ballroom - Tulsa, OK


The three with stars next to them, Asheville, Birmingham and Tulsa, are all going on sale this Friday! Here are the ticket links…


Asheville - ticketweb.com
Birmingham - workplay.com
Tulsa - protixonline.com


These are TEGAN AND SARA shows. We are not supporting Paramore on these dates. There was some confusion and we wanted to make that clear! Sara and I added the dates so we could visit some of our favourite cities that we haven’t been able to get to yet on this record. Hope some of you in those areas can join us!


See you soon!

Sara and I are ecstatic and thrilled to announce that Sainthood has made it onto the Polaris Music Prize Short List.


This is our first time being nominated and we are absolutely honored to be included. You can read more about the other bands (all of which we love) and the prize at www.polarismusicprize.ca. What a thrilling day!

Hey Everyone.


Sorry we’ve been so bad about updates here at .com. It’s been busy on the Tegan and Sara Farm. Sara is usually in charge of getting stuff up but she’s been super busy playing Scrabble, getting food poisoning and attending Wimbledon (all true facts about Sara).


We just arrived back safely from England. Had a lovely time on tour this month in Europe I have to say. Every show was incredible. It’s been a long time since I have felt every show went as well as the one before it. It’s truly heartwarming to see all the new fans and old fans coming together to support our band overseas. Thank you to each and every one of you. Thanks to Hesta Prynn for being there to support our headline shows as well! You rule! www.hestaprynn.com

Below is a link to the blog I wrote while on tour this June in Europe. Paper Magazine were nice enough to let me blog about my travels and post photos by Lindsey Byrnes along with my written adventures. Check it out here:
http://www.papermag.com/2010/06/tegan_and_saras_european_tour_3.php



The lovely people of State.ie filmed a short movie about Sara and I performing at Tower Records in Dublin that we think it’s really great. The end bit about the dirty guitar book Sara purchased is worth the wait so watch until the end. Thanks to them.



And lastly. We’ve been talking a bit about this next piece for a while now. It was one of my favourite things we did for Sainthood this year and we’ve been waiting patiently to see it ourselves. It’s finally on the internet!

Sara and I were asked to perform Alligator on Mamma Yamma, a childrens show on CBC Kids here in Canada back in January. They asked us to change the lyrics so they were more “kid friendly”. See the result below.

Thanks everyone! More updates this week! Please join the mailing list (in the bar to the right) for chances to win free tickets, get access to merchandise codes and pre-sales as well as get more personal messages from Sara and I in the coming months.


Your friends,
Tegan (and Sara)

Friends of the old fashioned, long form twitter…it’s been a while since i wrote a proper post here on .com!

A mild case of food poisoning in Amsterdam has meant that all responsibility for blogging has fallen on Tegan.

But! She is doing a terrific job! Her accounts can be found here! http://www.papermag.com/2010/06/sometimes_if_im_totally_desper.php

I’ve included a link to the third post, but make sure to go back and read the first two! Its a great summary of our European tour thus far in words and photos!
