Hello!!!! Oh man! It’s been SO long since I’ve written a blog I barely remember how. First off, how the heck are you all doing? Sara and I are doing great. We had a lovely holiday and a fresh new year and we’ve been hard at work finishing up writing for our new record. Officially we just finished our 41st song. Don’t worry, there will NOT be 41 songs on the record! PROMISE! And for…
Dearest Books, Remember when I told you I would never want to read you on a Kobo, Kindle or, iPad? Well, I got my first eReader as an unexpected gift from someone thoughtful. And I thought you deserved to hear it from me first. I told myself I would just download a few light reads or some silly magazines. Just give it a shot, you know? Of course I would still purchase books, especially serious…
It's the final countdown to Christmas, but we still have lots of exciting T+S news this week!

Hello! Well as usual December is flying by in a haze of eggnog and panic attacks at the mall. We were blown away by the response to the latest batch of merch, especially the Two Face shirt, that I think broke records for being the most talked about, tweeted, tumbled and shared design ever! It got us thinking, and in the spirit of the holidays, we have decided that we will donate and match all…
I get asked that question a lot. How often? Sometimes, it's the question I get asked immediately after someone has approached me and said, "Are you who I think you are?". It always makes me excited to talk about books and reading with people. But I always feel panicked about WHAT book to recommend. Sometimes my mind goes completely blank- as if I've never read a page of anything in my life. SO, I've decided…
It's the final month of our year long Merch Odyssey. Thank you to each and everyone of you who bought anything or even just aspired to! We are ending the year with a bang, with a new design that has quickly become a new all time favourite. We have been receiving requests to see some more unique "signature Emy" type designs, and this one really fits the bill. Introducing, the Tegan and Sara TWO FACE…
Hello! Well! What a busy few weeks this past year has felt like (that's a joke about how the past few weeks felt like a year). I'm finally recovered from our two weeks of GET ALONG screenings around this fine continent and also done digesting two different turkey dinners that I partook in here in the US of A over Thanksgiving. Phewff. First of all I just want to say how freaking grateful I feel…
Sorry we didn't end up making the T+S thong bathing suits, but the amazing Get Along T-Shirts designed by EE Storey are now available in our online store, www.teganandsara.com/shop along with copies of Get Along!
On Monday, Nov 21 at 2pm EST, we will be at Live Stream HQ in New York to participate in a Live Stream Session! We'll be performing 5 acoustic songs as well as doing a live chat that everyone can participate in. You can check out the site even earlier than 2pm though as they'll be posting behind the scenes photos and texts leading up to going live with the session. Find out more details…
A quick tip for those of you who will be viewing the Get Along DVD on Mac computer! You'll need to disable the "Dynamic Range Compression" in the DVD Player Preferences, for the optimal audio experience. This isn't required, but it helps with concert DVDs in general. Here is a screen shot of the setting that should be disabled. Go to DVD Preferences, Disc Setup, then select the “Disable Dolby dynamic range compression†box.
