““Tegan and I have been able to form something much more substantial with our audience and with our art because we are out and comfortable,” argues Sara. They know a big part of their fanbase is young queer kids for whom being a Tegan and Sara fan is a key piece of their identity — and they fully accept being ambassadors for gay life. Back on the ground, after our time in the Tower, Tegan explains that she only fully understood the importance of her role after meeting the parents of a brood of six who’d driven 11 hours to bring their newly out teenaged daughter and her siblings to a show. After the girl explained how important Tegan and Sara were to her, the whole family became fans. The parents thanked Tegan through tears.”

I am so excited for their new album!

(via malindalo)

Like malindalo, I am also wicked excited for this new album. In fact, I logged in promptly to ticketmaster at 10AM this morning to try to score tickets to their album launch show in Boston next weekend, but I failed, folks. I failed. I just couldn’t refresh and select and put that stupid blurry word code in fast enough to make it happen. Anybody got a couple of tickets they aren’t using for that show…?
