Review: Tegan and Sara @ Danforth Music Hall with Northern State 10/8/07

Tegan and Sara wrapped up a rockin' two show gig in Toronto last night at the Danforth Music Hall. Northern State opened the show for the sisters, and perhaps if their sound equipment had been properly set, I could give you an honest assessment of their performance. I can at least say that they appeared to be very energetic. My lovely girlfriend and I spent most of Northern State's set outside in the smoking corral.

Tegan and Sara took the stage shortly after, and embarked on playing a selection of songs from The Con, "Nineteen" and "Like O, Like H" being the highlights of the set. Between lengthy (but damn right entertaining) banter between the sisters, the band then played a handful of songs from older albums. "Walking With A Ghost" and "My Number" were definite stand outs. The sisters wrapped up their set with some more songs from The Con, and during the encore came out and did an excellent cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella". An excellent show from start to finish, I will be sure to catch Tegan and Sara the next time they roll into Toronto.
