Megan and Sara Quinn, the Canadian twins that make up the popular indie rock group Tegan and Sara are anything but typical. First lets start off with the fact that they are actual identical twins. They also both sing, play the guitar and keyboards. They have also been around for a while there most popular album “Heartthrob”, the album that’s bringing them to commercial fame. Is actually their 7th album. They are also openly gay.
Sarah Quinn is optimistic about her and her sister’s continued success.
“The record’s been out a while and it still feels really fresh.” Say’s Sarah, “It’s a grower album, and I don’t mean “grower” by listening to it. It’s helped build our career to the next level. People hear it and tell their friends or people are hearing it and different avenues and channels. I feel confident that it was a great next step into a “Part 2” of our career.

We’ve been in the industry now for fifteen years and it’s like, “What do we do next? How do we keep people wondering what Tegan & Sara are going to do?”
It’s not that easy to keep people engaged and interested with so many new bands coming out all the time. I think “Heartthrob” was a crossover or bridge record. It’s like saying, “We’re still the band you once knew and liked, but we’re doing something different.” And it’s inviting a whole new group of people in. It sort of teases up for something to follow it. Right now, I don’t feel any of that hesitation I felt before we put this record out. I just keep thinking, “We could do a crazy, sugary pop record, or we could do something weirder and go in a totally different direction.
There are just so many opportunity now because of this record. It’s a grower — we’re seeing the audience diversify, change, build. Opportunities are changing. It almost feels like we’re a brand new band.”

Now they are doing huge shows and it’s something the duo are in awe of. “We started in 1998 and these kinds of opportunities weren’t even something we could wrap our brains around. We were playing sports bars, coffee shops, and maybe we would play a 300-person club and sell it out. To be playing in front of 60 thousand people, and have them be like “Oh yeah, ‘Closer,’ I like this song.” It’s crazy. It’s a real boiling point for the band.”
