Tegan and Sara Come To Keller Auditorium 4/8
Seattle Theatre Group (STG) presents Tegan & Sara on April 8, 2010 at 7:30pm at Keller Auditorium.
Tegan Quin and Sara Quin were born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on September 19, 1980. They are sisters. They began playing music together in high school. They were signed by Elliot Roberts and Neil Young to Vapor Records in 2000. Tegan and Sara are now signed to Vapor/Sire/Warner Bros.
Tegan and Sara's sixth studio album, Sainthood, was produced by Chris Walla and Howard Redekopp & mixed by Dave Sardy. Recorded at Sound City (Los Angeles) and Two Sticks (Seattle), their new album addresses secular themes of devotion, delusion, and exemplary behavior in the pursuit of love and relationships. Inspired by emotional longing and the quiet actions we hope may be noticed by the objects of our affection, Sainthood is about obsession with romantic ideals. In the service of relationships we practice being perfect. We practice our sainthood in the hope that we will be rewarded with adoration. As we are driven to become anything for someone else, we sometimes become martyrs for our cause. Love, like faith, can never be held in an individual's hands. But the story of a great love affair - especially one that is unrequited or has ended too soon - can be woven like scripture or a bedtime story. And so the themes of Sainthood are tied together by this simple title, borrowed, with great respect, from the lyrics of the Leonard Cohen song "Came So Far For Beauty:" I practiced all my sainthood / I gave to one and all / But the rumors of my virtue / They moved her not at all. Sainthood will be released on October 27th.
Tickets: $27.50 & $30.00, not including applicable fees. Tickets are available Friday, October 23rd at 10:00am at all Ticketmaster locations, charge by phone 800-745-3000, online at www.ticketmaster.com, or at the PCPA box office. More info can be found at STGPresents.org.
