Tegan & Sara @ Queen Elizabeth Theatre – October 28th 2017

Amazingly, it is 10 years since Tegan & Sara’s fairly groundbreaking album The Con, and they went on a big ol’ tour to celebrate! The set was largely focused on playing the album in its entirety, followed by eight additional songs culled from their catalog which were sure to be, as the girls mentioned between a couple songs near the beginning of the show, just as depressing and dark as the songs from The Con are. They spoke a bit about being back home in Vancouver, musing easily with one another as really only twins can manage this well – lightly berating each other, but with love. The stage was set up minimally, with the girls on a platform in the middle of the stage, some simple artwork on banners behind them, and flanked by two other band members. Looked to be a full and enthusiastic house for the show as well.
