So you should know that I’m obsessed with the twin super girl indie rock band from Canada, Tegan & Sara*. They’re easily in my top 5 bands, and I got to go see them in concert at the beginning of the month. This was the second leg of their tour, which differed greatly from the first, mainly because they played a lot of their older stuff that they apparently don’t usually play at concerts. They also did a cover of Umbrella, which I can only hope will be released in a non-YouTube format sometime soon, that blew me away.
But this isn’t about their concert, but rather what I found on YouTube the other day!
I’ve been listening to these about 8x each everyday at work.
In the ‘More Info’ section, you can click ahead to the other songs that Tegan and Sara performed for a podcast called Interface Sessions. Head on over and you can download the podcast and enjoy these acoustic versions without the hassle of YouTube.
Lastly, while looking up links for this post, I found that Tegan and Sara have a YouTube channel with different web series. Definitely check it out. They also have some music videos I, for some reason, haven’t seen yet.
I’m such a horrible fanatic.
*I kept re-writing that description of them, but couldn’t come up with anything that made me feel less ashamed of my writing ability. Sad.

Personally I’m a Manics fan and I like their cover of “Umbrella”, but good to learn about new and upcoming artists.

I’ve never heard of the Manics, I’ll have to check them out!
Umbrella is a great song, and I love when people cover it. Mandy Moore does a great cover, as well.
