friends! Having such a lovely time on this tour in the USA. It feels strange to think that I was bundled up in my parka and winter boots less than a week ago in DC. Especially as I sit here in Atlanta nursing the awful sunburn I got in Boca Raton yesterday. The miracle of touring! I started having a panic attack last night thinking about the inevitable END of this tour. I attribute much…
dear friends! Tonight at 12 AM PACIFIC time, our new video for ALLIGATOR, will premiere on MYSPACE and on MUCH MUSIC in Canada. a delightful director (marc de pape) + mountains of multi-colored confetti + a plastic bag igloo + futuristic ewoks + a posse of one piece long john wearing dancers = winter wonderland magic! hope you enjoy it! skq
festival season is upon us! there isn't really a time these days where there are no festivals, so the term festival season really isn't valid, however here i am using it as i announce one of several festivals we are sure to be playing this year. this one is nice and special as its close to home for tegan, well not really that close, but a whole lot of our canadian friends sure like to…

bookworms! sometimes you approach me on the street, sometimes in line buying socks at H&M, occasionally you catch up to me next to the strange hat embroidery kiosk at the eaton centre in montreal...but you all request the same information! what am i reading you wonder!? often i feel unprepared to answer, perhaps a title or two pop into my brain, but often i walk away feeling like i've disappointed you! so, as promised, here…
friends in the land down under! we're thrilled to announce our upcoming tour details for Australia! Festivals! Headline shows! The best espresso in the world! Kangaroos! Surfing! Intense jet lag! The last time we made the trek across the ocean to visit you, it was in January 2009. The trip was paced in such a relaxed way that everyone felt as though they were on vacation. I was very sick the entire trip and I…
new york city friends! we couldn't imagine spending the day after valentine's day (February 15th, 2010) with anyone else. who better than YOU, new york city, could help us nurse our candy heart hangovers? we've decided, quite spontaneously, to offer an opportunity for some of you to spend an intimate night with us at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. perhaps it's worth noting that my use of the word intimate only applies to the small-ish…
[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/8976099[/vimeo] Yesterday we spent our day off in Quebec City at the Valcartier Vacation Village... It is a water-park that they turn into a winter wonderland after the season's first snowfall. The website claims that you can reach speeds of 80 km/h on their tube/raft runs...i believe it. The band and crew, somewhat unprepared for a day at the ski hill, cobbled together what warm clothes they could find. We made quite a scene in…
We are sitting backstage at the Bronson Centre in Ottawa. Tonight is the 1st of 2 shows here at this beautiful venue. Officially we are in the final stretch! 5 shows left and we're done for a few weeks before heading back into the US. Its been 2 years since we toured Canada and boy have we missed everyone. This past month has been a dream. Every night I fall asleep counting my lucky stars…
