Production Designing HIGHSCHOOL, for the talented Clea Duvall, Laura Kittrell, and DP Carolina Costa, was a refreshing dive into nineties suburban malaise --- and Calgary playing ITSELF! The whole team had a blast reproducing gig posters, invading record stores, taking over Crescent Heights High (where Tegan & Sara went to school), and generally stewing in a grungy stoned teen haze of feelings. EXCLAIM! magazine called it “impeccably drab” --and that makes me very happy. Mission accomplished ;)  “It’s a heartfelt, eventually rather touching portrait of sisterhood – the actual and broader kinds – and of the power of friendship, the vexed business of negotiating the complexities of a queer adolescence, finding yourself, and the joys of uncovering a voice and a talent you can make your own.“ Lucy Manga, The Guardian. The show came in as Rolling Stone’s #7 on the Best TV Shows of 2022: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/best-tv-shows-2022-barry-andor-the-bear-reservation-dogs-severance-1234640414/

The 2024 Juno Awards, Canada's prestigious music awards ceremony, witnessed a powerful moment of advocacy as Elliot Page, star of the hit series "The Umbrella Academy," used his platform to denounce the alarming rollback of LGBTQ2+ rights across the globe. A Voice for Change: Elliot Page Takes the Stage Presenting the Humanitarian Award to Canadian pop duo Tegan and Sara at the ceremony held in his hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Page delivered a poignant speech highlighting the current threats faced by the LGBTQ2+ community. "We are at a time in history where the rights of LGBTQ2+ people are being revoked, restricted, and eliminated throughout the world, and the effects are devastating," Page declared. He then commended the work of Tegan and Sara Foundation, emphasizing their dedication to supporting and advocating for social change on behalf of transgender and queer youth. This powerful statement resonated deeply with the audience, particularly in light of recent legislative proposals in Canada aimed at restricting access to healthcare for transgender individuals. Standing Together: Tegan and Sara Quin Echo the Message Following Page's address, Tegan Quin, one-half of the award-winning duo Tegan and Sara, expressed her solidarity with the LGBTQ2+ community. "If the world was not so hostile to LGBTQ2+ people, we would see ourselves purely as musicians," she asserted, addressing the Junos audience. Quin further criticized the province of Alberta's proposed healthcare restrictions for transgender youth, specifically highlighting the proposed ban on hormone therapy for individuals under 15. "Advocating for our community's rights is a great privilege and we are dedicated to confronting any form of discrimination that threatens the well-being of our community," Quin continued, her voice brimming with determination. As she spoke, her sister Tegan and Page stood by her side, a potent symbol of unity and unwavering support. Juno Awards Celebrate Music and Achievement While the Juno Awards evening provided a platform for social commentary, it also served its primary purpose of recognizing and celebrating excellence in Canadian music. Charlotte Cardin emerged as a major winner, taking home the coveted Album of the Year award for her critically acclaimed project "99 Nights." Cardin, a rising star in the Canadian music scene, had previously swept the 2022 Junos, securing four trophies including Best Artist. Other notable winners included Nicholas Durocher, known by his artistic persona "Talk," who received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award. Music legend Anne Murray, who graced the very first Juno Awards ceremony in 1970, made a special appearance to present the Group of the Year award to The Beaches, a celebrated all-female indie rock band from Toronto. Fan Favorites and Hall of Fame Recognition The Juno Fan Choice Award, voted on by the public, saw Punjabi pop sensation Karan Aujla claim victory. The ceremony also witnessed an emotional highlight as Maestro Fresh-Wes, a pioneering Canadian hip-hop artist with a five-decade career, was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Wesley Williams, the man behind the musical persona Maestro Fresh-Wes, has enjoyed a multifaceted career that extends beyond music, encompassing television acting credits in shows like "The Listener," "The Transporter," and "Mr. D." A Night of Triumphs Across Genres The Juno Awards ceremony wasn't just about high-profile wins. Saturday's pre-televised awards show saw Calgary's rising pop star Tate McRae bag two Junos for Best Artist and Best Single of the Year for her hit song "Greedy." Tobi, another prominent voice in Canadian music, secured two awards – Best Rap Single and Best Rap Album. Aysanabee, a gifted songwriter and musical talent, added two trophies to her collection – Best Songwriter and Best Alternative Album. A Night of Advocacy and Artistic Accolades The 2024 Juno Awards were more than just a celebration of music. Elliot Page's powerful message served as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the LGBTQ2+ community. Tegan and Sara Quin's words echoed Page's sentiments, highlighting the importance of fighting for equality. While the fight for LGBTQ2+ rights continues, the Junos provided a platform for crucial voices to be heard.

Just Like Heaven is a single day festival at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. It has a knack for bringing in acts from the 2007ish era of indie music. It’s kind of remarkable how the festival producer, Golden Voice, was able to find so many great bands that defined what it meant to be a coming-of-age millennial. From that core of independent music, the festival sound bleeds into the…

Tegan and Sara: Junior High is a fun graphic novel about finding your own identity as a teenager #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovel #teganandsara

Before Tegan and Sara took the music world by storm, the Quins were just two identical twins trying to find their place in a new home and new school. From first crushes to the perils of puberty, surviving junior high is something the sisters plan to face side by side, just like they’ve always faced things. But growing up also means growing apart, as Tegan and Sara make different friends and take…

Today (5/5) last year, Sea Girls released “DNA” on every platform across the Internet! It was first launched as a limited Record Store Day special release in April 2022 but due to high demands from the fans who weren’t that lucky to grab their own vinyls, it’s decided that DNA has to be universally available (added to Homesick DSP version as well) that the lads even shot a gorgeous music video for it in Stans, Switzerland. 💙🧬

The fact that it’s giving Coldplay’s Yellow vibes (but mountain version), I can’t help but to put both DNA and Yellow side by side alongside other videos that have similar elements with beautiful sceneries. Clockwise, they are:

the core inspiration of all, Yellow by @coldplay (Dorset, UK)

a very nice cover, Yellow cover by @florsounds (possibly Oregon, US)

a homage to Yellow but not a cover, Yellow by @teganandsara (Vancouver, Canada)

Go check them out too ✨

After taking 2022 off, I returned to Redondo Beach this year for the annual, three-day Beachlife Festival. While last time I covered the fest in one long post, I decided this year to do it day by day (hence the rare Saturday post today). Not too much has changed since 2021; the festival grounds remain serene, clean and beautiful. The Riptide Stage was swapped with the food booths and water…

Remembering the time Sara Keirsten Quin said “It’s a Tegan and Sara sandwich!” to me and broke my brain a little bit.
