Concert - Tegan & Sara

My very first "Tegan & Sara" last week was AWESOME! It was at a very small venue, and when I walked in, I was surprised how close the stage was... I forgot that people still perform at these (approx.) 300 person venues. I don't think I've been to such a small venue since Alanis Morissette played at the TLA in Philly in 1995, and tickets were $7.50. Good times.

Anyway, the show was really good - they sounded great! They played the entire new album, backwards. They talked, and shared stories. They are very funny. Sara was telling a story about how Tegan broke her arm 4 times before the age of 12. Tegan said, "I don't usually tell people I don't know this story - it sounds suspicious - as if I was hurting me - they weren't!" Then, Sara spoke about her therapy, and Tegan said, "Again, not something I generally tell people." The crowd was okay - some people were drunk and obnoxious, but luckily they weren't standing right next to me. All in all - a very enjoyable show. Will be seeing them perform again in few months.
