Both before and after their recent sold-out First Avenue gig, Tegan and Sara graced the airwaves of two local Minneapolis radio stations, in support of their 7th full-length, Heartthrobs.
Just before their evening performance, they treated a small and select audience (myself included) to an acoustic performance and some conversation at Cities97’s Studio C in St. Louis Park. At this session, they talked about memories of Minneapolis, and discovering Prince’s songwriting genius (via Cyndi Lauper’s re-make of ‘When You Were Mine’) and the Replacements' "Unsatisfied" (courtesy of one Ryan Adams). They also thought aloud about what kind of food truck they might envision owning, and the evolving of the more 'commercial' sound found on their newest album. After the session, the girls were nice enough to stay briefly for pictures and autographs.
Songs played at both appearances were "Back In Your Head,"(from The Con) and "I Was A Fool" & "Closer"(from Heartthrobs).
Both sessions are currently available to stream (though the Studio C session may be for a limited time):

New Kids on the Block was an even bigger influence
The morning after their performance in First Avenue’s mainroom, they woke up early and made their way to the other side of the Mississippi River and landed in St. Paul, at the studios of 89.3 The Current. For this private session with the morning DJs, the Quin sisters went into more detail about choosing Greg Kurstin (aka half of The Bird and the Bee; and Pink, Lily Allen, Sia producer) to produce their latest album, and why Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block was an even bigger influence than first realized.
Songs played at both appearances were "Back In Your Head,"(from The Con) and "I Was A Fool" & "Closer"(from Heartthrobs).
