After getting a bona fide copy of Sara and Tegan's Yellow demo in our hands, we decided to see what the internets had to say about the tape. We discovered, with great excitement (read: ennui) that the Yellow demo was just one of three tapes they released before their first album. Wow. We simply had to find those other two tapes. Our lives were meaningless without them. Really oh dear lord there was no way we were going to be able to go on without them.
Thankfully, their rabid fans have made them available through a simple Google search. So, we're grabbing these from their international fan base and planting them firmly back here in Calgary, where they belong.
Quite unlike Sara and Tegan themselves, who have gone on - apparently - to live in Vancouver/California (don't blame us for that vagueness - we're just reposting parts of wikipedia) and Montreal. But, hey, they're coming back to town this summer, gracing us with their presence with two over-priced shows at the Grand. Extra-overpriced if you choose the VIP ticket, which is twice the regular $75 price tag, and which entitles you to listen to a soundcheck (which we assume Sara and Tegan themselves may or may not be present at) and will get you a signed poster.
We're not going to say much more than this: compare and contrast the Bang:Buck ratio of their return home with the FREE show the Primrods gave us last month.

Thank you8uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I blame Mike Bell for this whole thing.
We blame Mike for a lot of things as well. Most of them involve spilled beers, though.
Thanks for posting these and the other T&S demo...
would be nice if they were relased on vinyl
Thanks for this! It keeps reminding me that even a post written from a guy with a lot of nitric acid and frustration inside can be a good resource!
I have a physical red casette in my possession if anyone is interested.
