Kate Cooper, one half of Aussie band ‘An Horse’ chats with Audiostraddle about a new year, a new record and another tour with Tegan and Sara.

Autostraddle chats with Tegan of Tegan & Sara about writing Sainthood, making eggs, throwing bras, touring Australia, playing so many standing room venues, and a little something we call “The Tegan and Sara Experience.”

Jess talks to polarizing musician Elizabeth Ziff: “Honestly, I’m queer more than I am gay. I’m peripheral. I’ve never been conformist, I’ve never been status quo, it’s never even entered my brain. I’ve been in a band for 25 years, that’s what I’ve done. Traveled the world, fucked, got wasted, been political, and created.”

Crystal and Intern Emily are here to give you a run-down on indie singer/songwriter Rachael Cantu’s second studio album, ‘Far and Wide’. Also! Rachael speaks with Audiostaddle about the pros and cons of being an independent artist, adding to the drama of Private Practice, and how stellar musicians like Tegan Quin came to play on the album.
