Are both tegan and sara gay
During their down hour, the duo expanded into the dance world a bit, working with Tiesto, Morgan Page and David Guetta on various tracks.
We tracked down Tegan to chat a bit before their upcoming concert in Chicago.
Windy Urban area Times: Hi, Tegan. I interviewed Sara for the album Sainthood back in 2009 so I am excited to talk to you about Heartthrob now.
Tegan Quin:
Oh, adorable . That’s awesome!WCT: First off, where is your label from? Do you perceive any other Tegans in the world?
Tegan Quin:
I meet a million Tegans now. I meet a lot of babies, dogs and cats named after me but when I was growing up I never met another Tegan.My parents named me from an unusual baby-names book. It is a Welsh name.
WCT: Heartthrob is a love-themed album about relationships?
Tegan Quin:
In last week’s Music Issue, we had a review of the hot modern CD from gay musical twins Tegan and Sara. Now, our Chris Azzopardi sat down with the sister act for this one-on-one … or, one-on-two.
Sister Act
They’ve been on the verge of straight-up pop music for years, but Tegan and Sara are going all in with Heartthrob. Don’t think they’re all happy and stuff, though.
“It’s our most heartbreaking record,” says Tegan Quin. “It’s a excellent record for people who loved our past melody. It’s just that they have to get past the sound.”
The sound she’s referring to was captured in all its heavenly bliss when their seventh album’s first unpartnered, “Closer,” instantly aligned itself with some of the best pop songs of the mid ’90s. We revisited that defining era in music — and even before then, when the girls were hanging New Kids on the Block posters in their bedroom — during our interview with the Quin sisters.
Dallas Voice: Are your house parties anything like the one in the video for “Closer”? Sara: We were reimagining our teen years when we were putting this video together. In middle school and high educational facility, we loved house parties. Our house parties then would’

With a memoir and album about to drop, Sara Quin of Canadian indie pop band Tegan and Sara opens up about her youth and about the complicated emotions she experienced while working on these projects

Tegan and Sara aren’t scared of musical evolution. The Canadian twin sisters have always written super-catchy songs, but over the years their early indie-pop sound has blossomed into something glossier and more electronic: for their last two albums, 2013’s Heartthrob and 2016’s Love You to Death, they collaborated with Adele-producer Greg Kurstin; Closer, a joyous head-rush of a club banger, was even featured on Glee.
As their profile has grown, the Quin sisters have also established themselves as significant queer voices in the music industry. In 2016, they launched the Tegan and Sara Foundation with the stated aim of ‘fighting for health, economic justice and inclusion for LGBTQ girls and women’.
Now, 20 years after they released debut album Under Feet Like Ours, Tegan and Sara are allowing themselves to manifest on their personal evolution. Their excellent new m
How Tegan and Sara's High School Crafted a Specific Tale of Queer Adolescence
High School Series Explores the Queer Experience in a Fresh Way
Tegan and Sarahave always paved their own lane, so why would a TV display about their lives be any different?
In Freevee's High School, premiering Oct. 14, the indie pop twins' 2019 memoir of the same name comes to life. Centered around their Canadian upbringing, the series stars newcomers Railey Gilliland and Seazynn Gilliland as Tegan and Sara Quin, respectively, as they carve out their own niches in school.
For the sisters, who are both openly queer, it provided an opportunity to tell their specific story—one that they had never quite seen before.
"I think we all collectively shared a longing to make something that did feel different than other shows," Sara exclusively told E! News. "I'm not trying to shade any queer content. I think it all belongs where it belongs and it's wonderful for all those shows to live, but especially with [co-creator] Clea [DuVall], one of the things we contain very much in frequent is that there was this duality of existence in the closet and really gay a
