If not, they ate whatever was in the fridge. As teenagers, they were high-achieving burnouts, who drank, smoked pot, and dropped acid during the school day never together, so that they could babysit each other through the trips , but volunteered and studied classical piano. On the weekends, they would get into circle pits when bands like NOFX came through town. They picked up the guitar at age 15, and started writing together as Plunk, using the school photocopier to print the artwork for their cassettes.
It made the year-old punks suspicious. They held up their end of the bargain: They never touched drugs again, and never drank on the job. Eventually, Universal Canada paid for them to make a demo.
Still, the girls approached the producer about recording an independent debut album. It's a time capsule that makes their love of Ani DiFranco obvious: crunchy guitars, angsty lyrics, husky over-enunciation, though their message is clear. A year later, Vapor Records, the label founded by Neil Young and his longtime manager Elliott Roberts, signed the band on the spot. Both sisters were already out, and Vapor encouraged them to be open about their sexuality, believing that they could become the voice of a generation.
That summer, they were invited to support Neil Young and the Pretenders in America, and studied the machinations of a well-run show. I remember thinking, This feels normal. They put the lessons into practice. They ran a tight ship, maintaining a show binder, a merch binder, and a logistics binder. After each show, one twin kept watch as the other fed dollar bills into ATMs.
This was a level of professionalism foreign even to established musicians a decade or so their senior. It's a cool L. Sara and girlfriend Reader will follow later today to buy furniture for theirs. They both rent in L. Right now, gray, placid Holiday is nowhere to be seen. Mickey, the weirder black-and-white sibling, spends the next three hours staring out of the kitchen window, or lying spread-eagle on the rug. Sara gets two seltzers out of the fridge, which is plastered with postcards and photos showing the couple smiling at a recent family wedding.
Love You to Death is the first time Sara has written about the darkest era of her relationship with Tegan, which almost broke up the band just as they were first making commercial and critical headway. The hurt set in when Sara left for the East Coast at age Vancouver was too expensive, and she needed to escape her burgeoning twin identity crisis.
She was also the first person who intervened when the sisters fought, a role that even their parents had avoided. On tour they shared hotel rooms, where they would wrestle after shows. They also fought in front of their crew. By the time they made 's rocky, experimental The Con , they had been upstreamed from Vapor to major label Warner Bros. The tour was grueling. They were grieving for their grandmother, who had practically raised them, and Sara for her relationship.
She speaks with such intensity that she rarely lingers on the emotional details. That freezing tour, they got in three bus accidents. In Glasgow, on February 29, the sisters properly came to blows. Please check the article again after few days.

Tegan and I are uniquely and deeply involved in the running of our businesses. Our ethos in the band has always been to be fully transparent and to understand the business that we are doing.
That started at 18, when we signed our first legal contract. We had a lawyer who was extremely determined to make sure that Tegan and I understood everything we were doing and signing, and he really emphasized the importance of that. She would go to school all day and then she would work at night and in the summers to pay back her student loans. Whereas we were out there and it felt like some weird punishment or prison sentence. When they started out, as a niche, guitar-based duo with minimal mainstream appeal, they had to rely on the indie press to reach their fanbase.
Elsewhere, they found themselves subjected to accusations that they were manufactured and even incestuous. But there was a lot of homophobia and sexism. The indie community is primarily white, hetero males. A whole article sexualising her! And the media are gross. But some people make honest mistakes. Or mother?
