Friday was the last official Tegan and Sara show for this album cycle. It was good, but kind of odd. First of all it was a random one-off, a month after the last official tour of The Con. Second of all it was put on by VanOC, the Vancouver Olympic Committee… for the Olympics a year away from now?! Anyways, the show went well and it was held in a great venue in Vancouver called the Orpheum… where multiple episodes of Battlestar Galactica where filmed. Do I have any other random facts from the show? Yes. It was dual billed with Broken Social Scene, and they were great. That was more of a statement followed by an opinion.
Ok but more important than the show, were the two days before that, where the whole band plus Chris Walla sat in a room for 7 hours and worked on the new material for the next album.
In closing,
Goodbye concerts, Hello studios.
That was a good show. Also, your guys gear is heavy! I had to help pack that stuff on stage at Under the Volcano in August, and my little body couldn't do it! To the gym I shall go!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great show. Two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed it, so good job to all of you and thanks for making 2009 great already.
I know it is far away but....
There's no doubt in my mind that the new album will be worth the wait, for realz. Excitement ensues.
The Orpheum show was amazing! I don't think I have ever been to a nicer venue for a rock concert.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that you, Ted, and Johnny are working on this next record! 2009 will be great for T&S!
