Last Friday, San Diego’s 91X hosted its annual Wrex the Halls, a monster concert designed to kick off the holidays. The billing typically comprises of a handful of bands that range in popularity, from the up-and-comers to those that sell out arena shows on the regular; this year’s event was no different. The sold-out show at San Diego State University’s Viejas Arena featured (in order of appearance) Audio Addiction, Youngblood Hawke, Imagine Dragons, The Joy Formidable, Tegan & Sara, Passion Pit, M83, and The Killers. Five and a half hours of live music never sounded so good. [...]
When we caught up with Tegan Quin of Canadian alt-pop duo Tegan & Sara last month to premiere their video for the shimmering pop gem "Closer," we also took a minute to ask Tegan about her favorite albums of the year — since, after all, the acclaimed band is taking a shift back in the pop direction with their upcoming album Heartthrob . Unsurprisingly, Tegan has been keeping the pop on heavy rotation — but while it wasn't tough for her to think of music she [...]
Tegan & Sara Aunque se encuentran de gira al lado de The Killers en este momento, Tegan & Sara también presentan su nuevo video para "Closer", una de las canciones que formarán parte de Heartthrob , su nuevo disco que verá la luz en febrero del próximo año. El video, en su mayoría lleno de particularidades noventeras y de fiesta, fue dirigido por Isaac Rentz . Véanlo a continuación junto con el video detrás de cámaras.

As gêmeas canadenses Tegan And Sara nos encantaram com seu synth-pop chiclete em "Closer" , primeiro single do sétimo álbum das irmãs, Hearthrob , esperado para janeiro. Apesar da mudança drástica nesse primeiro single, as garotas ainda assim conseguiram arrancar elogios dos antigos fãs, acostumados seu material mais folk e experimental, mas que não conseguiram resistir ao pop atrevido e inteligente que foi executado. Com direito a alguns elementos eletrônicos mas com um toque certamente orgânico, Tegan And Sara apresentam agora o mais novo gostinho do trabalho com o single "I'm Not Your Hero", [...]
America's lovable sister/twin duo is back with another great single. Like it's predecessor "Closer," Tegan And Sara's new track "I'm Not Your Hero" is way more dance ready and beat heavy then much of their older work. It showcases the new direction for their upcoming album very nicely. By pushing their vocals to the front of these two new tracks, they are setting themselves up for some potentially awesome remixes. Hopefully these chicks will continue their pop exploration and keep us all out of depression in the years to come. [...]

Since we HAVE to give these FREE tickets to the Black Keys away, who wants them?
Tegan & Sara aren't exactly strangers to the dance-y side of the music scene. Despite their indie-folk-alt-rock-y roots, the girls have worked with a few of EDM's most beloved names over the past few years, including the off-the-charts brilliant "Feel It In My Bones" with Tiesto , "Body Work" with Morgan Page, and most recently, "Every Chance We Get We Run" with David Guetta. This time, however, the Canadian indie-pop duo are bringing the beats to their own work, beginning with "Closer," the lead single from their forthcoming [...]
Las hermanas Tegan & Sara han estrenado un nuevo sencillo de título "Closer" el cual ya podemos escuchar pero estará disponible para descarga a partir del 25 de septiembre . Este tema fue producido por Greg Kurstin y aparecerá en el siguiente álbum del dúo (aún sin título) que tentativamente será publicado en enero de 2013. Tegan & Sara forman parte del Festival Corona Capital 2012 que tendrá lugar los próximos 13 y 14 de octubre . [...]
So what songs will Tegan & Sara play on their upcoming tour with The Killers ? Here's one likely candidate, that's also our first taste of the band's forthcoming LP. "Closer" is an electro-pop, radio-friendly cut, inspired by a "time before sex, complicated relationships, drama and heart break." Tegan explained to Rolling Stone : I intended was to write something sweet that reminded the listener of a time before sex, complicated relationships, drama and heart [...]
Today is officially the first day of summer and well, it's cloudy and rainy here in Denver. Though it's a welcome change from the obscenely hot week we've had, it doesn't seem like the weather and the calendar are in sync. Either way, I put the finishing touches on my summer mixtape for you last night. Much like today, this playlist isn't stereotypically summer. It's a bit angsty and a bit depressing, but it's what I was inspired to make. There's a bit of a roadtrip theme as well, as summer is wont [...]
Canadian pop-rock icons Tegan and Sara have announced that they will hit the road with The Black Keys for the extension of their U.S. tour later this year. Additionally, the girls are confirmed to play Austin City Limits Music Festival this October. The official ACL lineup was announced today and can be seen in full on the festival's website. Over the last couple months, Tegan & Sara have been hard at work recording their new album. The Quin sisters have [...]
Mariachi El Bronx - 48 Roses I saw Mariachi El Bronx last week and had been going through a phase with this song anyway. "48 Roses" led the set and it's still on regular rotation for me. Tegan & Sara - On Directing Tegan & Sara are always always a favorite. Get Along is on Netflix streaming right now and this song has been stuck in my head since watching. Martha Wainwright - Bloody Motherfucking Asshole If it's even [...]
There's some sort of adverse reaction I have to live albums. Maybe it's years of buying them and expecting great things...only to listen to them one time and cringe at the thought of ever listening to them again. The only live albums that I have ever really found have repeat listening potential are acoustic albums. Mainly, this is because the songs sound much different than their original
Tegan & Sara have spent the past 13-plus years writing and performing their brand of earnest guitar pop to what has grown to become a pretty sizeable fan base. However, the twin sisters, who have done time opening for Neil Young and release music on a major label, have managed to maintain the type of cult following that’s generally garnered by a band half their size. This can mostly be attributed to their hearts-on-their-sleeves lyrics and the personal relationship they continue to engage in with fans, including designing much of their own merchandise [...]
