*Tegan & Sara - Tour Diary (Live)

The delightful (don’t I sound about 80 using the word delightful?) Tegan and Sara have now left our shores. But in these sad times kids, dry your eyes. We have a tour diary for you, complete with those new fangled digital images you all seem to enjoy so much AND as previously stated... a fabulous merchandise give-away to follow.

With special thanks to Tegan and Warner for hooking us up for the Brighton & London shows, we hopped, skipped and jumped our way to a selection of dates so we could produce a nice little tour diary for you.

Brighton:
The Concorde in Brighton was by far the smallest venue we saw T&S play during the tour, and while small usually = good for intimacy, the crowd was extremely over-excited and for the majority of the evening repeatedly directed their excitement in all the wrong ways.
I have no doubt Tegan and Sara are tough enough to handle most types of awkward/rude crowd situations but for the audience it just got annoying. From repeated shouting out of old song requests (we don't mean a few times, literally before and after every bit of banter or song, the same group were just shouting out for songs that they weren't going to play) to crude sexual remarks...we just felt awkward.

However, musically this did not phase the Quins one bit, playing through all of 'The Con' excluding 'Knife Going In' they gave a fantastic platform to an already fantastic album. Older songs like 'Monday, Monday, Monday' and the very early 'Divided' sounded completely refreshed sung by their now, far more experienced voices.

With the great banter they have come to be known for, their banter in Brighton did not disappoint; anecdotal gems about allergies, weird dreams, marriage;



and Sara Quin so accurately describing the loud/drunk group in the audience as 'Nancy' (that girl who from afar who looks like she's the life of the party but then when she's at a sleepover... she's the girl who gets her eyebrows shaved) It was pretty great.

They finished with the stunning 'Call It Off' but not before someone had to get a few final, shouted questions in. Tegan described a dream she had where her mom had written in the sky 'Life Is Hopeful'.

Fan: "I have a question"
Tegan: "You have a question, oh ok, what's your question?"
Fan: "Is life hopeful?"
Tegan: (Pause) "I like to think so, yes."

Even with the crowd being on the awkward side of rowdy, that's a pretty sweet way to end a gig. Shame the fan had to ruin her luck by wanting to ask more questions. But we'll just end it there.

Leeds:
By Leeds they had already revamped the set-list and brought in some new, old songs and taken out some of the previous set. 'Time Running' and 'Not Tonight' slotted in to the set perfectly with the former sounding louder and punkier than ever and the latter embracing the delicate and the melodic. Tegans electronic 'Are You Ten Years Ago' was probably an interesting and maybe challenging song to take from the recording to live, but it came off pretty flawlessly - with an addictively strong bassline and tightly sequenced vocals. Sara rounded off 'Walking With A Ghost' with a humorous explanation of trying to write an almost child-like song whilst carrying scarier undertones, in her own little strum-along sing song she explained to the kids, "Your mummy and daddy or daddy and daddy or mummy and mummy are getting a divvvooorce, but they still love youuu."

Manchester:
Out went 'Floorplan' and 'Not Tonight' from the set-list, while 'Time Running' still made the cut. People threw glow sticks. People continued to shout 'Get Your Tits Out' (at these moments, embarrassed to be British? Check.) Sara quickly responded by pondering over when the live performance changed, it used to be rock stars in leather pants with girls on their boyfriends shoulders taking their tops off and now... the band get heckled to take their clothes off. Something went wrong somewhere.

London:



the particularly epic sounding 'Living Room'



After sharing how the 8 minutes alone in the womb without Tegan were the most calm and peaceful of Sara's life, and Tegan expressing their gratitude that each time they come back to the UK they are selling out bigger and bigger venues, the ladies took their bows and left us for European shores. We'll miss you two little Canadian wonders, do come back soon.

*Tegan & Sara Interview

Recorded in January of 2007 with Chris Walla from Death Cab for Cutie, Tegan and Sara's 5th record 'The Con' came out in the states last summer and has finally reached our shores intact and sounding just as good as when we were listening last year. Recorded in Portland and accompanied by a DVD with tons of great footage from the recording process, Tegan and Sara are letting you in, so we hope you're excited.

As we said before we had a great time talking to Tegan in London last Thursday. We hope you enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed talking - say hi to Tegan kids...


*(see video at end)

LG: ‘The Con’ is your fifth record of a career spanning around ten years; do you think at this point people start to identify with either you or Sara more as songwriters?

Tegan: I think so, I mean in general I think our fans are attached to both of us but I certainly think that when it comes down to it certain people are attracted to certain songs. I’m not sure that our entire audience or our fan base actually sits at home and writes out songs like, ‘yes I’m a Tegan fan and I’m much more attracted to the way she writes’ but I think, certainly for the super fans, there’s a distinction between our writing. I like that, I think that’s really good. I mean we’re both writing from different places about different things and you know, we do our best to make it as cohesive as possible but it is two writers in one band. So certainly we don’t take offence when people…like I remember when Ryan Adams called us to ask us to tour with him, he actually called. He said, ‘I love “Underwater” and “I want to be bad” and “Monday Monday Monday”, I mean the whole record is amazing’ and I was just like, ‘yeah those are Sara’s songs, I’m going to give you to Sara’ (laughs) and he did, you know he followed Sara around the whole tour, he covered ‘Not Tonight’ and he was just…a Sara fan and there’s nothing wrong with that.



LG: There are Tegan fans…

Tegan: (laughs) There are a lot of Tegan fans. For some reason, I think because word got out quickly it seems, amongst the super fans, that I was single for the last couple years and it seemed like all of a sudden everybody was crazy about Tegan. So yeah I certainly don’t feel…there’s never been any competition between Sara and I in terms of writing or money or popularity or fans…

LG: SUVs, Hummers?

Tegan: Yeah, exactly, planes, I mean my helicopter is Sara’s helicopter so it’s all good.

LG: Mi casa es su casa.

Tegan: (Laughs) Exactly.

LG: Have you ever written stuff and thought you know what, actually, that’s too personal to share?

Tegan: Generally no, I mean I think that it’s all perception. I was actually pontificating on this last night about how there would be absolutely no way I could do what I do for a living if what I wrote the song about originally was what I was thinking about while I was playing it. So, over the years the song takes on a new meaning for me too just like how it takes on a new meaning depending on where we are and how old the audience is and what the demographic is or the type of story I tell prior to the song, it all changes. So generally when I write a song, if I don’t play it ever again or I don’t want to play it ever again it’s because I actually can’t relate to it anymore. You know? So some of our earlier stuff like literally the first two records, there is very little on it that I relate to and it’s not so much what I’m actually singing about, it’s actually more just the songs themselves, they’re very unbalanced to me. There’s a way that I think about music now that was so much in development there, that it’s very difficult for me to even try and wrap my head around learning to play them again, I literally could not do it you know?

LG: Yeah, I remember reading numerous times that you hate “Superstar”

Tegan: Yeah! It doesn’t make any sense to me, I mean I was in high school, you know 17 years old. It’s not what I’m singing about, the melody is hooky definitely and the production of it on the record is fine but when I actually sit down and try to play it, it’s just outside my box of comprehension at this point. I’m sad for all the people who want to hear it, apparently I promised everyone in Manchester that I was going to play it?

LG: Manchester can be rowdy…

Tegan: Yeah! I know, Sara told me that I’m probably going to get mauled but I don’t know how to play it and I don’t want to!

LG: There’s new stuff…people can…

Tegan: (laughs) Yeah people can get over it.



LG: I read in a previous interview that ‘Burn your life down’ was partly Sara writing and being inspired by stuff that you were going through, is it quite rare that you write about each others state of minds?

Tegan: Well, I think when Sara wrote ‘Burn your life down’ it was definitely a response to a combination of a lot of things that were happening in her life. I was going through this big change and this big break-up but I think what Sara was writing about…I think the distinction that we didn’t make early enough in our careers is that we’re not writing songs necessarily about each other or about our relationships. We’re writing about ourselves and how we feel about certain things, and so I think ‘Burn your life down’ was to do with Sara’s feeling about my break-up and my grandmother had just passed away. My grandparents were together for like 65 years, and it was devastating for our whole family. I mean she was the matriarch; she was the magnet that drew us all together. Our family has not been the same since, I mean there’s just not the same camaraderie without her and I think that song was just starting to scrape the surface of the magnitude of that loss and that represents all relationships - mine was only a 5-year relationship but it was still gigantic, I mean the core of our life was build around that relationship (with their grandmother) and when it ended it was significant for everyone.

LG: The record is pretty dark in some places, and definitely very intense. Do you feel like it’s a necessity as a songwriter to have a dark side to your personality? Or a brooding side?

Tegan: Well I certainly think it’s nice to be a musician to have an outlet for that dark side, I think that was certainly an inspiration for wanting to be what we are, for being driven and passionate about it. I certainly can’t imagine just writing poppy, happy, light songs. I’m not playing music to be rich and famous or to be popular and well liked…

LG: or to have helicopters…

Tegan: Yeah, I mean I think it’s fair that I have a helicopter and a hummer! But no, generally I feel like I’m doing this to have a vehicle to pass on this message, you know, this universal feeling. When we signed our record deal, the guy who signed us, he was a manager who had been managing for decades. He managed Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young and he said to us, ‘you’re going to be the voice of your generation’ and I did not understand, and thought that’s a lot of pressure and I’m not going to run for president ok…but I understand now what he means. We’re putting in to terms and writing songs that are universal and easily attached to, and by, people who have gone through any sort of anxiety or stressful relationship or heartbreak or loss. So, I think it does encourage our dark side for sure.



LG: Listening to ‘The Con’, I got it back in the summer of last year when it came out in the states because I refused to wait…

Tegan: Good for you, I thought it was silly that people had to wait.

LG: (cont’d) I noticed when I really thought about it that I didn’t ever hear feminine pronouns, is that a conscious decision to not use them or is that just how you write?

Tegan: Yeah, that’s just how I write. I mean I would never put someone’s name in, and I feel almost like by saying she or he I would be limiting the song. I did that on earlier records, I remember ‘My number’ was written about my best friend, who, he like had this intense emotional relationship with me and then he fell in love with me. It was so hard for me, I felt so sad for the loss, and the loss was so gigantic because I was in the midst in a kind of emotional love affair with a friend of his who was a female. The triangle between us was so sad and so hard, and I put a ‘he’ in the song and I hate playing the song now because it’s so hard to explain that to people. Where as if I has just written the song and taken that one word out, the song would make universal sense to everyone. So I think that pronouns, they really do limit the songs for me even, to be able to sing ‘Where does the good go’ you know, 5/6 years later, I can’t be overly specific or else it’s just too much. It’s like that song is about that time and I’m not there anymore so I don’t want to sing that song. Where as if you keep it somewhat general, like if I keep it about myself, it’s very easy to relate it to other things in my own life. So yeah, I don’t think it’s conscious so much as I’m just not attracted to doing it after 3 years of being on the road and playing ‘My Number’ I was like, if I have to sing ‘he’ one more time…(laughs) so I stopped saying he, and for years started saying ‘Keanu’ because ‘My number’ was in the movie he was in! So I was all like, ‘this song is for Keanu’.

LG: You could just put the mic out to the crowd and get them to fill in a word for you?

Tegan: Right exactly? They could figure it out themselves.



LG: The banter between you and Sara is becoming pretty synonymous with you guys as a band, and your fans obviously are very attached to that and to you guys. Have fans ever crossed the line?

Tegan: Sure, I mean it happens from time to time, generally it’s when people have been drinking but (laughs) certainly you don’t have to be a fan of mine to upset me while you’re drinking. You know, there’s moments where I definitely feel like people take it too far and certainly there are nights where I just feel like the audience is so over excited and screaming and crazy and then it’s like ok, great, you want a rock show, we’ll just play, no problem - we can do that. We can do that quite easily, sometimes I’m tired and I don’t want to tell stories, but then you’ve got the smattering of people who aren’t wasted and they’re like ‘Talk! Tell us stories!’ and you’re like, how?! When it’s madness we just rock out and get off the stage. But the stories are really important to us for sure and they’re funny, I mean they are funny! I don’t really know how we do it, we get on stage and we never tell the same stories and we just get up there and start riffing and talking. I like that energy that it creates with the audience for sure, I feel like it creates an intimacy.

LG: I feel like your kind of banter is quite rare but equally sort of… a complete necessity for live shows?

Tegan: I think so too.

LG: I always find it so boring when people just don’t talk at all.

Tegan: Me too, and not a lot of people do. Honestly, sometimes when bands do talk I’m like ugh, no don’t do it. Which I know we do too, we have moments or nights where we’re off too and I’m all like, ‘Ugh Sara, shut the fuck up!’ (Laughs) like stop talking, but then you know, I’ll say that and then everyone laughs and then we’re on a roll and it’s like, well Sara can keep talking because I’ll keep making fun of her!

LG: It’s a sister thing too.

Tegan: I think so…

LG: I make fun of my sister all the time.

Tegan: Right, it would be uncomfortable if it were Ted and I (their guitar player/band-mate) up there. People would probably be like ‘oh poor Ted!’ I think people have moments sometimes when they feel bad for Sara but when Sara gets me good, I mean I laugh! I’ll admit when it’s really funny.



LG: If for some reason you personally couldn’t be a working musician at a point in your life, is there anything else you would want to do?

Tegan: Well I think at this point, there are a lot of things I could do. I mean we’ve been in the industry for 10 years and we’ve managed ourselves for years and I have a high comprehension for everything that’s involved in doing what we do. I think that over the years we’ve definitely been of the school of artists that are very involved. I get cc’d on hundreds of emails everyday from my management and we approve everything, there’s nothing that doesn’t go through our business. So there’s any number of jobs I could do, I could run a merchandising company or be a manager or any of those things. I mean they would all be fine, I certainly see my future as always going to be somewhat music related. But I don’t know, if I had to create a whole new job or profession for my self I don’t know exactly what I would do, maybe write…something else?

LG: Yeah I suppose it’s probably very hard to imagine doing something else when you’ve been doing what you have for so long?

Tegan: It is hard yeah, and because I like it. You know it’s not just like; oh I’ve been at this stupid job for so long I guess ill just stay. It’s more like, I love this job and I’m not sure exactly what I could find to do that would inspire me more.

LG: Do you guys ever go into what your tattoos mean?

Tegan: You know I think the tattoos are kind of like the songs and open to interpretation? I mean certainly almost all of my tattoos have come at significant periods of my life, I generally don’t just get tattooed to get tattooed, I mean I do not get drunk and think, I’m going to get a tattoo! Put a clover on my knee!
But generally they come at the ends of relationships or significant times. Sara’s seem to revolve more around records, like it’s such a big thing. It’s almost like a pilgrimage to leave home for 2 years at a time to go on tour. But the actual meanings of them, I mean, they change for me. You know what I mean? Some of my tattoos are 10 years old, I can’t remember, I’m like, why?…why did I get that! Some of the new ones are so big that I’ll probably never forget getting them done and maybe I’ll already regret them but I can’t really stop you know? I mean I just got two more…

LG: Everyone says it’s pretty addictive

Tegan: It is kind of addictive. Now I’m like, I wish I’d had the foresight to plan them out earlier so now I’m getting two at a time to balance them, like, if I’m going to get this one then I need to get one on the other side exactly the same. I wish I’d done that earlier, because the rest of me feels fucked up now…unbalanced!



LG: What’s your idea of happiness and unhappiness?

Tegan: Well I think the times in my life where I have been happiest I was busy, so I think for me, being productive and having purpose is very important to me. I constantly tell people that having a year off is not as fun as everyone thinks it would be and everyone goes, ‘yeah right’ but that’s because you only ever get 2 or 3 weeks off.

LG: Yeah I wouldn’t think a year off was fun.

Tegan: No…having a year off was very difficult, I got 18 hours a day to think about my life, myself, my purpose, my point in being here and it can be very stressful and overwhelming. So I think the idea of happiness is balance, balance of what you are and who you are and what you need specifically, and I think that part of balancing all that is to have purpose and to be doing something and being productive. I’m OCD, I’m a Virgo, I’m extremely linear and if you just give me a year like, ‘have fun!’ I just go ‘aaahh what do I do?!’

LG: Fly the helicopter?

Tegan: Yeah! Well, I did that for like a month but you know…

LG & Tegan: Boring!

(We are trying to rescue the sound but our Macbook might have betrayed us. For all those non lip readers out there Tegan is just saying a quick hello, "Hi everyone, I'm Tegan from Tegan and Sara and we're here in London. You're reading my interview with Get Glucky

*Tegan & Sara update

So the last week has been a little bit mental. Manic. Crazy. All of the above? Tick. But.. every adjective I have just used I mean in the best way possible. We have ridden on more trains, been to more cities and listened to more music than time should allow.



On Thursday morning we had a lovely interview with Tegan Quin from Tegan and Sara. If you're a regular reader of this blog you will know that we think extremely highly of these ladies and therefore were very grateful to be able to shoot the breeze with Tegan for a little while...

We will post the interview Monday morning so please enjoy it, we hope you like it. If you're a member on their message boards or fan-sites etc. feel free to link to our site.

We'll also have a tour diary report on the lovely Quins, which will be up early in the week; Brighton, Leeds, Manchester & London, Glucky has it covered.

Phewf. Ok. Sleep.

*Tegan & Sara @ Fopp, London (Live/Instore)

Even though we've had Tegan and Sara blaring through our headphones for the last few years for some bizzaro reason we've never been able to see them live. Of course the big tour is coming up but when we got wind of this London in-store we wanted to go along and shout/clap/throw some love their way. They sounded fantastic, performing; The Con, Back In Your Head, Dark Come Soon, Where Did The Good Go and Walking With A Ghost. We'd also just like to take the time in print to say that the recent NME review of 'The Con' was one of the worst, not to mention laziest, pieces of journalism we have seen in a while. So yeah. BOO NME.

Pictures will be to follow but for now here are some videos that some eager beaver has already posted:







Performances of 'The Con' and 'Walking With A Ghost'

*Kaki King - Tour, Single, Album

Kaki King is returning with her forth album after her contributions to Foo Fighters and Tegan & Sara’s (hear her awesome quirky guitar parts on 'Floorplan' and 'Knife Going In' from 'The Con') latest albums, and having been nominated for a Golden Globe award for “Into The Wild” together with Eddie Vedder.

*Vivek Shraya Interview

Ok, so it's no secret that Get Glucky loves us some Canadian music but we especially like the artists who not only make great original music but have a nice little talent for re-working songs by others. Therefore, we introduce you to Toronto's very own; Vivek Shraya.



Vivek Shraya introduces himself to YOU:



LG: How did you first get started making music? Were you learning an instrument/s from a young age?

VS: I started singing at an early age. I dont really remember how I started to be honest. I think like all things at that age: my mom made me do it. I was really into music class in elementary school where we learnt such hits as Good Kind Wenceslas, Bonhomme Bonhomme and On Top of Old Smokey. It was also in music class that I discovered my inability to play the recorder, and my unmatched skill at playing the bells. I didn't pick up guitar until 19.

LG: Who are the bands/artists you listened to growing up and the ones you listen to now?

VS: I didn't start listening to western pop music (aside from Kung Fu Fighting and Relax, Don't do it that my dad liked to play in the car) until I was 12 or so, and while most of my peers were listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam, I was rockin out to TLC and Salt-N-Pepa. These days I have been listening to mostly the new Hot Chip, the new Radiohead and Santogold.

LG: Do you tend to write melody before lyric or the other way around?

VS: I tend to write lyrics first. I am really inspired by a single word or a phrase and will build around it. SOS for example was built around the phrase "stress on the stands."

LG: You have recorded with both Tegan and Sara Quin and performed with them too, how did you originally meet and how did you go about picking the songs they were going to contribute to?

VS: I met Tegan and Sara at one of their shows here in Toronto. With The Alphabet, the song was somewhat inspired by them stylistically, so it really made sense to have Tegan sing on it and with Your Name , I had demoed the track at Sara's place and she was going to add more instrumentation to it and send it back. She ended up singing on the demo she sent back and I was blown away and asked her to sing on the final version.

LG: What are your favourite songs off your records to play live and why?

VS: From If We're Not Talking, my favorite song to play is probably Your Name, mostly because it's super poppy and people seem to immediately respond to that track live. I have really been enjoying playing the Seven Nation Army cover live as well, because people instantly recognize it and I can just have fun with it. I dont have the same responsibilty to a cover as I do my own stuff.

LG: You played some Parisian shows recently, was that your first experience of touring in Europe? How do the crowds differ from the Canadian crowd?

VS: This show in Paris *was* my first European show and it was really incredible! I had no idea what to expect. Before I started, everyone seemed to be doing their cool French thing...smoking and looking hot. But people really got into it in a way that I have yet to experience in North America, presumably because electro/dance music is really happening out there right now. It was really gratifying.

LG: What made you choose to cover seven nation army? Any other songs coming up that you're going to re-work?

VS: Meghan Toohey, who produced the track and If We're Not Talking, suggested it actually. We knew we wanted to do a cover in the vein of the record and had been talking about it for awhile, going through our favorite songs and artists. It's just such a great song. It's kind of hard to fuck it up. I would love to do another cover soon. Any suggestions?

LG: The way the music industry seems to be going artists are not relying on record labels so much, do you still feel that urge to sign a deal and widely release records or do you have your own plan carved out?

VS: I think a label can provide support and resources that independent artists don't often have and in that respect, I think they are still vital.

LG: What song by another artist do you wish you had written?

VS: Right now I would have to say House of Cards by Radiohead. It's just such a beautiful song, Thom at his most clear and sincere.

LG: Are your records going to be fully released in Europe/UK? any future tour dates planned for here?

VS: Right now, If We're Not Talking is available worldwide via vivekshraya.com and iTunes, though I am hoping for and working on actual distribution and touring in Europe this year. Fingers crossed!

*Tegan and Sara - The Con (Album)

I realise this album came out a little while ago, and therefore this review should have gone up a while ago but thought i'd dig it out and post it seeing as T&S are touring here soon and if you don't have a ticket.. what are you waiting for silly?

Tegan and Sara - The Con (Maple Music)



Sometimes along comes an album where a band has grown so much, lyrically, melodically and personally that when it’s laid out in front of you bare boned on a record there is nothing left to do but sit down with a pair of headphones, put the record on and press repeat.
The talent of Tegan and Sara has never been in doubt, with four previous records underneath their belts including the very successful; ‘So Jealous’ and countless numbers of honest, catchy and often heart wrenching songs, they are clearly accomplished, but with their new record ‘The Con’ they have taken everything to the next level.
Somewhat like a perfect lovers’ mix tape; the songs deal in heartbreak, longing, coping, realisation and speaking out - and that’s only on the surface, dig deeper and there is a hoard of intricate and intimate moments to be found.
While both girls are intense songwriters, interestingly, while they perform together, it is well known that they write alone, which is maybe why their individual sounds are becoming more distinct. Songs like; Nineteen, Call It Off and The Con are clearly Tegan’s – direct, passionate and allow you so much access, you wonder if you’re listening in on something that was meant to be private. Singing over an intense drumbeat on ‘Are You Ten Years Ago’ she takes the sound of Tegan and Sara into an entirely different territory. Equally Sara’s ‘Like O Like H’, ‘Burn Your Life Down’ and ‘Floorplan’ are full of intricate parts, quirky vocals and subject matter stretching far beyond some of her previous songs, now incorporating inspiration from childhood, marriage and even coping with death.
What’s so unique is that their records never seem to display a stronger writer/lyricist, you are never made to choose between them, they both have their accomplished individual songs but together, they have a fantastic record. So no matter who has written what, like a musical ying and yang they have managed to intertwine their styles to produce a record that everyone can relate to. Whether it’s love lost or gained, self-realisation or self-confusion, every song on this album resonates.
With their live shows garnering a reputation for hilarious storytelling along with fantastic musical performance, it’s clear these are woman of great talent and substance and in a musical world where unfortunately that can be a rarity, thank Canada for Tegan and Sara.

10/10
