Juno Award winning, and identical twin sisters Tegan and Sarah are set to perform at The Commodore on November 20th! The indie-pop duo have been bringing the classics since forming in ’98 and don’t look to change anything when they visit Vancity!
Tegan and Sara a Canadian born indie pop duo from Calgary, Alberta who formed in 1998 and have been highly praised across the world by many people. It all started back in ’95 when the duo were 15 years old and they found a hand-me-down guitar in the basement. Sara went on to write a little song called “Tegan Didn’t Go To School Today” and then the 2 recorded the song onto a little cassette tape. After going through a few duo/band names and recording a few demo albums in their school recording studio, it got them into some competitions and battles like “Garage Warz” where they ended up winning. Using that studio time they released their first professional demo, Yellow tape under the name “Sara and Tegan” which was then followed by an Orange tape and Red tape. 1998 marked their first major show when they opened up for Hayden in Calgary, Alberta. Just a year later they released their debut studio album Under Feet Like Ours and went through a name change that you now know as Tegan and Sara.
“Closer” released in September 2012 as the lead single from Tegan and Sarah’s 7th studio album Heartthrob and has been considered the biggest hit by the duo where they won a Juno Award for Single of the Year in 2014 and the same year they won Pop Album of the Year for Heartthrob. This was one of the 16 times they’ve won an award while also being nominated for awards 48 times including a Grammy in 2013 for Best Long Form Music Video for “Get Along”
On October 21st, the duo released their 10th studio album Crybaby under the the Mom + Pop record label and has been given a score of 6.1/10 by Pitchfork. The album was written over the COVID-19 pandemic and is now ready to be performed live for the people this Sunday!
