The Quin sisters Tegan and Sara brought their sweet sounds to the States on the first leg of a massive tour in support of their latest album, The Con, out July 24 on Vapor/Sire. After wrapping up a couple of nights in British Columbia, the twin poppers embarked on a jaunt down the West Coast-- starting last night at the Triple Door in Seattle-- which will continue eastward, then across the ocean to England, then to the European mainland, then...back to Canada to start the whole thing over again.

All those intercontinental tour dates, plus more photos, after the jump.
