Tegan and Sara has just premiered the video for "Northshore," the newest single from their 2009 album Sainthood, on MySpace. The clip was filmed in Vancouver, DC and directed by Angela Kendall who also directed "On Directing." The video takes a minimalistic approach; having the duo play their guitars (and at some parts very impressive air guitar) in a small room covered with posters of the band themselves. Towards the end, Tegan and Sara tear down the posters. Like the song, the video is very energetic and fast-paced. Check out the video and the tour dates. More
