Tegan & Sara, Herb Thomas November 25, 2007

Sisters Tegan and Sara, Vancouver residents, started playing guitar at 15. They cut their teeth in a high-school punk band and only became an acoustic duo after they tired of losing drummers and blowing amps. Northern State is an all female, hip-hop trio. Hesta Prynn, Sprout and Spero grew up deep in suburban Long Island, in Dix Hills, New York and have been friends for as long as they can remember. Their mutual love of hip-hop inspired them to form Northern State as college grads living in New York City.
