Another big week!

FROM TEGANANDSARA.COM:

Hello Monday!

Sorry to all those in Portland and the Pacific Northwest. We really didn’t mean to scare you by not including you in the initial tour announcement. We are now happy to announce that we will be playing in Portland on April 8th! The ticket pre-sale starts on Wed Oct 21, details and links are on the show page. The pre-sales for San Diego and San Francisco shows also start on the 21st.

In less than a week we will take the stage in Los Angeles for the live debut of all the songs from SAINTHOOD. We are so excited to get back on tour and play the new songs. The response in Victoria was so positive. Playing new songs has really inspired all of us these past few weeks. It’s time to share!

Starting tomorrow morning you can listen to the stream of SAINTHOOD in it’s entirety on Myspace! For real! No guilt! It’s the worldwide debut of the record and we hope you all love it. Hopefully you’ll all be ready to sing along when we come to a city near you! We did an interview with the Myspace Music Feed too, they posted that today so you can check it out now at myspace.com/myspacemusicfeed.

We have also started our Spinner Takeover today! They are going to be posting a bunch of funny videos of our various antics that we recorded in their studio last month, with something new everyday, leading up to release day on Oct 27th, and with a stream of Sainthood starting on the 26th. Today they posted a preview of all the things to come, so go to www.spinner.com.

Until next time,
Tegan (and Sara)

Tegan and Sara Kick Off Their 'Spinner Takeover'

Tegan and Sara Kick Off Their 'Spinner Takeover'



In anticipation of their forthcoming Chris Walla-produced LP 'Sainthood,' Tegan and Sara will be taking over Spinner all this week and through next Wednesday. Fans of the twins can expect an array of exclusive goodies, including behind-the-scenes high jinks, skits and, um, questionable attempts at drum solos. Best of all, starting next Monday we'll be streaming 'Sainthood' in its entirety on our Full CD Listening Party.

Today we're kicking things off with a preview of all the T&S stuff to come. In this clip you'll witness some sisterly bonding (of sorts) and a glimpse at Sara's foray into the buttoned-up "CEO corporate world" where she "has no heart and no soul" (Tegan's words, not ours). Have a look after the jump.

Ink Blot Factory

FROM TEGANANDSARA.COM:



Hey Everyone!

The deluxe pre-order bundles of ON IN AT are sold out! We
hunkered down and made the ink blots this weekend. It was a
lot of work but it was so fun. Each deluxe bundle with the book
set and Sainthood cd will have a hand made ink blot signed by
Sara and I and the actual clothes pin that held it on the line to
dry. We hope you enjoy!

There are still limited copies of the books available for pre-order
with our new record! Go to www.maplemusic.com to order one
today! The books are available only at Maple as a part of this bundle.
They will only be offered at shows starting next year if stock
permits so don’t wait and miss out!

Check out some pictures of us making the ink blots taken by
Sarah Bastin in the photo section. And below is a video we shot
while making the ink blots!

Thank you guys! We appreciate the support SO much!
