Tegan and Sara have proven time and time again that their success as musicians and identity as a band extends beyond the novelty of watching identical lesbian twins perform unspeakable deeds.

However, while albums So Jealous and The Con helped establish the sister act as bonafide Indie Pop contenders, latest effort Sainthood (produced by Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie fame) does little to advance their cause.

A smitten Sara struggles to maintain her composure (“Make those eyes at me/I lose my grip, I lose my focus.”) on the impossibly adorable “On Directing”, whose glittering Pop vibrancy is ultimately dulled by its own Post-Punk disillusionment.

Catchy as the “The Cure” may be, the song suffers from its stale lyrics and a fairly generic melody that ironically sounds like a bizarre mash-up of “Friday I’m In Love” and “Just Like Heaven”.

Everyone’s favorite lesbian twin sisters have scheduled a handful of dates in Los Angeles and New York.

Witness nature versus nurture in action as Tegan and Sara perform at the Orpheum Theater and Town Hall for a two night stint.

The economic downturn has persuaded many bands to join forces in an attempt to draw larger crowds.

Music fans in the Los Angeles area can benefit from the misery of others as two recently announced shows at the Hollywood Bowl feature a star studded indie lineup that consists of Death Cab For Cutie, Tegan and Sara, Blitzen Trapper, and the incomparable Jenny Lewis.
