ATP Exclusive: Say Anything + Saves The Day UK Tour?

Max Bemis, when speaking to Alter The Press!, said there have been discussions about a possible Say Anything/Saves The Day UK Tour in 2010.

Interview: Tegan and Sara

Whilst in the UK on a recent, sold out, headline tour, Canada's Tegan and Sara took the time out to sit down with Alter The Press! for an in-depth interview.

The duo spoke to ATP! about being back in the UK, the new album 'Sainthood,' and translating it into a live setting, collaborating together for the first time in their career, Tegan and Sara online programming, re-releasing older material and more.

Alter The Press: How does it feel to be back in the UK?
Tegan Quin: It's actually really exciting to be back here. We really like touring in Europe but it's tough sometimes because it's so expensive for a Canadian/American band to come over, especially in the UK. It's definitely really different here, we have all these different theories of why it's so difficult for us to break (as in sell some records) and it's also hard because we actually don't care about record sales. We come here and are able to tour, which is the most immediate thing we need in our lives, needing to tour.

We love coming here because it's so different to anywhere else we tour and the audience is so excited and so rampant; like we played Edinburgh last night, and they were so fucking excited we were playing, some people were waiting 6-7 years for us to come there and were just mental. It makes our lives really easy because all we have to do is go up there and do our thing. There are moments where I feel like I want to spend more time here, find out what's happening and try to find out how to make things work, but we will get there.

The Get Up Kids Update

An update from The Get Up Kids can be read below.

"One year ago this month we got back on stage together for the first time in 3 and a half years. Since then we’ve been traveling to europe and back and all over the US, writing new songs, gigging with our friends and having a blast. This weekend we are going back to the scene of the crime. The Record Bar in Kansas City is one of our favorite places and we’re very excited to end this chapter where we started it. This “reunion” ends in KC. From now on we enter into the next phase of the get up kids, new tunes, new adventures in australia and japan and wherever else the wind takes us. We’re a new band and we’re excited to see where we will go in the future. We hope that you can make it out to one of the shows in Kansas City, if nothing more because all of the proceeds are going to go to the Anne Winter fund. Anne was a huge influence on and supporter of this band and all of our projects since the very very beginning. She was a powerful force for good in Kansas City and she will be missed by all of us. We hope that you can come out and donate to her family. We want to say thank you to everyone who came out to see us on this tour and everyone who has supported us. We can’t wait to play you some of these new songs. Thanks for everything.
-the g.u.k."
