Doing sound tonight for Tegan and Sara. I’d never heard them before… for some reason, I thought they would be this light, lilting, acoustic folk-pop act. Instead they are loud, and scrappy.

Thought they were going to get into a fistfight at soundcheck. They switched places on stage and Sara wanted some changes in the monitors. Tegan lit into her. “Jesus Sara, it’s not going to fucking work if they have to re-EQ the monitors every time. Next time bring your own monitors if you wanna be fucking around with my shit.” Sara seemed to find this amusing.

Then they launched into a song and I stood back and went “Holy moly. Tegan’s a genius.”
