Garage Warz


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.
