"Early in their set Sara, who at first seems to be the sweeter and more chatty of the two, started to reminisce about the sisters attending their high school graduation ceremony at the Jube. It was a funny story, if scatter-brained in the telling, and of course, Tegan, the surly one called her on it. “I thought you were going to wait to talk about this,” she grumbled, finally adding, “I think you should’ve got your story straight.”
But later Tegan told an amusing story of her own, which put her sibling in another light, teasing Sara about schooling some obnoxious fan the previous night in Red Deer. “Sara got all Alberta on some guy and had him thrown out,” she said as her sister squirmed." (read full review).

But they also touched on other aspects of life, like having an overwhelming number of friends in one moment and feeling like you don’t have enough in the next. Or, Sara’s 8th grade ambitions of going to college on a basketball scholarship. Or, Tegan’s 12-year-old song written when the twins were having problems in their “twin marriage” and had to see a therapist named April." (read full review).

"Having performed together since their teens, the two have impeccable timing, and they're a joy to watch. Mocking the way she doesn't say anything all day, then blurts out everything once she's on-stage–"That isn't normal," she noted–Sara proved herself once again to be the more talkative one.
