Tegan and Sara
Tegan and Sara would really love to stop talking about gay stuff. Not because they´re not loud and proud, but because they feel it´s not unusual to be out in showbiz anymore. ″Our music [is] what people are mainly focused on,″ the twin musicians told Canada´s Global News last month. Yet, they realize their 15 years in the spotlight has made them into role models for people who don´t have the freedom to live openly. ″We´ve accepted that that´s going to be a big part of what our band is-hopefully bringing hope and change to people everywhere,″ said Tegan. They have an enviable platform for that. In March, the Quins won Junos (Canada´s version of the Grammy) for Single of the Year (″Closer″), Pop Album of the Year (Heartthrob) and Group of the Year. Fresh off that success, they headlined The Dinah in Palm Springs in April, and will perform at WorldPride in Toronto this June. They´ll continue touring for the rest of this year, and then buckle down to write and record their next album, slated for 2016. Said Tegan, ″We have a lot of collaborations in our back pockets [that are] going to be coming out over this year and next year, so [fans are] still going to be getting a lot of Tegan and Sara.″ -KL
