Canadian-born twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin recorded their first two LP's in their high school's recording studio, and haven't looked back since. Their live show, a combination of comic banter and indie rock, has delighted critics and audiences for years, and their music has been a staple on shows such as The L Word and Gray's Anatomy.
Here's "Nineteen," off their new album "The Con."
Thanks for the Tegan and Sara reprise! I've loved this group ever since running across them on the L-Word. Hearing them on your show was a real treat. The BPP team does an excellent job of selecting music in general. I've liked about a third of of the groups you've had in studio which for picky me is pretty amazing.
I'm a podcaster, listen to the show everyday, even if I am a few days behind, but you should really reconsider playing Tegan and Sara in the middle of the show, because I was forced to stop the podcast and have been just listening to their CDs all day! Sorry, I love the show, but once I start listening I can't stop
