TEGAN and SARA's New "On Directing" Video, Tour News

MUSIC NEWS- TEGAN and SARA are back in the USA for a massive summer tour, beginning this week as part of the Honda Civic Tour with Paramore, New Found Glory and Kadawatha. Tegan and Sara will step out from the tour for a few additional shows and play a one-off date as part of Lilith Fair along with a handful of headline dates, which means an even better summer for T & S fans. 

They're also releasing a brand new video clip for “On Directing” from their recent album,  SAINTHOOD.  It's premiering today at Noon PST / 3:00pm EST on marketing firm Alloy Media’s Teen.com site, but only for 24 hours exclusively.  The clip was directed by Angela Kendall, whose previous work also includes the “Call it Off” and “Speak Slow” clips, and was filmed in Vancouver, BC.

As previously announced, a special 2010 Summer Tour EP is available and features tracks from each of the bands on the Honda Civic Tour.  It's available online through the iTunes Store.

Tegan explains their two EP tracks:  “Sheets” -   “Sara and I recorded Sheets during the recording sessions for Sainthood last spring. This track was one of our favourites but we couldn’t fit it on the record. It’s a true Sainthood B-SIDE! Sara and I wrote it together. It’s only the second official T+S collaboration ever released (“Paperback Head” being the other)." “Back In Your Head” - “Obviously everyone has heard the album version or some remix version but this is a true acoustic version of the song with just Sara and I performing together. The recording is from our latest tour to Australia and we love it!” 

 

Tracklisting for the 2010 Summer Tour EP as follows:

 

Paramore – “Ignorance (live)” & “My Heart (live)”

Tegan and Sara – “Back in Your Head (live)” & “Sheets”

New Found Glory – “I’m The Fool”

Kadawatha – “Gonna Stay”
