 The ever-endearing TEGAN AND SARA charmed long-time (and introduced themselves to new) fans, whilst in the country supporting Jack Johnson's 2010 New Zealand three-date arena tour. The band played a winsome combination of songs from their last four albums - and while in Auckland, took the time to hang out with us for half an hour in a fort[!] on the balcony at their record company. Look out for our interview in the next couple of weeks... there's a picture book about a Dysfunctional Bubble involved... Tegan and Sara will be recording a new album in 2011 - which they hope to release before Christmas next year - but in the meantime, new music for your ears and a new music video for the delight of your eyes and funny bone, comes in the form of the twins' collaboration with MARGARET CHO. Of the collaboration, T&S have said: "This is the song we wrote together with Margaret Cho, for her comedy album Cho Dependent, which has also been nominated for a Grammy for Best Comedy Album! Congrats Margaret!! The video was directed by Liam Sullivan and we had such a blast being a part of the whole process." Cho has blogged about Tegan and Sara and their song 'Intervention' HERE - read an extract below: "Tegan and Sara play for thousands of fans every night and they make their fans feel like they are important, that they exist, that queers and girls can be rock stars too, that it’s about them and about their lives and about the guitars and as they are defined by the music, they are made real in the world. Tegan and Sara make more than music. They make a whole generation of queers and girls feel like they matter. It’s powerful and profound. When I look out into the crowd at a Tegan and Sara show, I feel a kind of elation, like together, in the music, we can do anything. It’s the way rock and roll makes us invincible. With Tegan and Sara we can overcome anything – homophobia, sexism, even heartbreak. I love them. I love them so fucking much." Watch the music video for 'Intervention' below...
