Today, Tegan and Sara released an animated video for Hayley Williams’ (from Paramore) cover of “Nineteen.”
In 2007, Kristine Thune created four animated videos inspired by The Con that Tegan and Sara found out about through fans. Tegan and Sara loved them and wanted to make sure her videos had a proper public release. Kristine was able to cut them together to the new cover song versions and all the animators agreed to be involved.
In honor of The Con‘s 10th anniversary, Tegan and Sara released The Con X: Covers album last month. They’re currently on a sold-out tour where they are performing the album front-to-back. All proceeds from this record and tour go to the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice and representation for LGBTQ girls and women.
