| Tegan and Sara announce tour dates Posted: 13 Oct 2009 12:00 PM PDT Burbank, CA – Beloved Canadian pop-rock icons Tegan and Sara have announced that they will launch their first extensive tour of the U.S. in nearly two years in February 2010. The tour kicks off February 12th in Northampton, MA, and criss-crosses the country before finishing up on April 6th in Salt Lake City, UT. The ticket pre-sale begins this Wednesday, October 14th, at 10 a.m. The password for all pre-sales is "Sainthood." Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, October 16th, at 10 a.m. Twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin are hitting the road in support of their eagerly awaited sixth studio album Sainthood, which is due from Sire/Vapor Records on October 27th. Sainthood was produced by Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla (who also produced 2007's critically applauded The Con) and Howard Redekopp (who produced 2004's groundbreaking effort So Jealous) and mixed by Grammy Award winner Dave Sardy (Oasis, Primal Scream, Marilyn Manson). Tegan and Sara began recording Sainthood in May at the legendary Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, CA, where Tom Petty, Nirvana, and Fleetwood Mac have all recorded. They finished laying down tracks at Seattle's Two Sticks Audio, owned by Death Cab drummer Jason McGerr. "Hell," the first digital single from Sainthood, is now available for purchase from all digital service providers and is currently streaming live on the band's website www.teganandsara.com. It is the band's first new song released to fans since July 2007. Fans who pre-order Sainthood on iTunes will receive the track as a free digital download. An iTunes exclusive deluxe version of the album will feature two bonus tracks: "Wrists" and "Light Up." As previously mentioned, a triumvirate of books entitled On, In, At, will be released in conjunction with the release of Sainthood. The three-book set, which chronicles different time periods from the past year in the lives of Tegan and Sara, will be available through teganandsara.com. These books are a Must Have item for fans and have been beautifully photographed, annotated and packaged. Check the site for additional details. To celebrate the release of Sainthood, Tegan and Sara will perform four very special shows: October 25th and 26th at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theater, and October 30th and 31st at New York City's Town Hall. The band will also appear on NBC's The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on November 2nd.

| Posted: 13 Oct 2009 10:00 AM PDT The former singer/guitarist for Taking Back Sunday, John Nolan, left the band with Taking Back Sunday’s bassist Shaun Cooper to start a new band called Straylight Run. John Nolan then went on to start a solo project and will be releasing his fist solo album on October 27, 2009. After just looking at the cover of the album, the album caught my attention. The album cover artwork is of a paint-picture of someone jumping up in the air, barefoot, and in a calm grass clearing. Once I found out that John Nolan was formally a part of the band Taking Back Sunday, I had a biased opinion towards him (I strongly dislike Taking Back Sunday). However, once I listened to the album all the way through, my bad thought about him vanished… for the most part. The first three tracks on the album start off nicely. But the two tracks after are not a good follow up. The first track “The End of The Beginning” is about a one-minute long intro musical piece that sets up for the song “Til its Done To Death,” which is by far my favorite song on the album. It is a mellow song that has a catchy beat and choirs that leaves you singing along to the music. The last few tracts are definitely worth going out and listening to. There were only two bad apples in my opinion on the album. “Here I Am” is one of the latter tracks that resembles that of the music Pink Floyd used to create. So get to it and have your self a gander. Height is available Oct. 27. Tracklisting: John Nolan: myspace Related Posts |
