![]() I love reading about musicians’ passion for music, how it develops and expresses itself and insistently makes itself known to self and other, and in that regard, this book also delivers pretty well, much in the way of Kristen Hersh’s Rat Girl (still a favorite of mine) or Carrie Brownstein’s Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. Above all, this book really makes you feel like you are right there with them in their adolescence, watching episodes play out in real time it feels as though the teen Tegan and Sara have time travelled from the past to tell you and show you their story. However, the strictly music-oriented ecstasies and other aspects of their 90s high school experience were quite relatable. Granted, maybe because I grew up primarily on the other end of the decade than Tegan and Sara did (the end that makes me even older than they now are, and of a perhaps more heavily DARE-influenced developmental trajectory), my own high school experience featured approximately a 200% reduction in drug- and alcohol-induced raptures as compared with theirs. My inner adolescent felt extremely validated at the opportunity to reminisce, for instance, about Nirvana- and Smashing Pumpkins-induced states of bliss (the thrill of cracking open that beautiful, chunky Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness double CD!). The weight of the wood felt intimate, touching almost all of me at once”.Īdmittedly, I came to this memoir not actually super familiar* (I thought) with the music of Tegan and Sara however, I AM familiar with, not to mention increasingly, foolishly nostalgic for, the experience of being a self-identified alternative 1990s high schooler. “Strumming those first chords made my whole body of the guitar vibrate against my chest, sending waves tingling up through my wrists and along the veins in my arms. “Explain this: Your ‘sister’ spent the last hour in the garage with Kayla-‘Rollerblading’”. Sara and Tegan have just turned me onto their music. Not knowing anything about these ladies until reading this book. I can certainly understand the heart-support-connection that Calgarians, feel! I enjoyed learning about these two women. Insights into their sister relationship, friendships, lovers, music, and their rise to fame. They highlighted their personal struggles, family life, self discovery, drugs, sex, and Rock ‘n’ roll. They wrote this memoir together - alternating chapters about their Openly gay, advocates for LGBTQ equality, as well as music education, literacy, and cancer research. I had no idea who Tegan and Sara were: musicians, and songwriters. I downloaded it thinking I would take a peek.then inhaled it: enjoying their stories and adorable photos. I kept seeing this book pop up, and was curious. ( just blocks away from where our daughter lives now). The series starts filming 3/21 in Calgary, but no word on a premiere date yet.Tegan and Sara’s story - identical twins - begins in grade ten - at Crescent Heights High School, in the suburbs of northeast Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We were overjoyed when they were cast, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that it all worked out.” Sara was relentless - these were the twins that had to play us. ![]() ‘You can’t teach charisma,’ Sara said, which they had in spades. ![]() They were performers, musical and dynamic. “There was something undeniably intriguing about them: They were sweet and original, impossible not to watch. “It felt kismet when I saw Railey and Seazynn for the first time on TikTok,” Tegan said in a statement. Cobie Smulders is going to play their mother Simone, while Kyle Bornheimer will play Simone’s boyfriend Patrick. Both are TikTok creators and are new to TV. Railey Gilliland will play Tegan, while Seazynn Gilliland will portray Sara. With the series set to start filming next week, an official cast has now been announced. Otherwise, we hadn’t heard much about it, until some official news dropped today. We knew that Tegan and Sara Quin served as co-creators alongside producer Clea Duvall, and that the show would be a comedy series. ![]() Back in October of 2020, Amazon Studios and Plan B Entertainment announced an adaptation Tegan And Sara’s memoir High School for IMDb TV. ![]()
