Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Keirsten Quin are sisters
from Canada. They're identical twins. They're both openly gay. They both have short brown
haircuts. They also both make indie pop together under the stage name
Tegan and Sara. Both sisters write their songs, play piano, and can play
guitar. Since their beginning in 1995, their music has led them on tours
and appearances that have made them famous.
Tegan and Sara
started making music at 15 years old by forming a band (of just them) called
Plunk. In Plunk, they won a competition called Calgary's Garage
Warz and used the money to record their first demo, Yellow Tape.
After Yellow Tape came Orange Tape and Red Tape.
When they first made independent albums, they were named "Sara and
Tegan." However, they made the change to Tegan and Sara to separate
themselves from other "Sarah" artists like Sarah McLaughlin.
Their fame really picked up after fourth album So Jealous in
2004. From that album came the song "Walking With a Ghost,"
which was covered by The White Stripes. While working on their sixth
album, Sainthood, they spent a week writing songs together and produced
their first song as a collaborative team. During this period they also
released a three-book set called ON, IN, AT containing photos of them
in New Orleans and Australia. The group of Tegan and Sara has worked with many big names in the industry, such as Weezer, Bryan Adams, Jack Johnson, The Black Keys, Cake, City and Colour, Death Cab for Cutie, The Killers, New Found Glory, and Paramore. They are currently on top with the song "Closer" and have been featured touring with the band fun.
