Sara Quin, one-half of sister duo Tegan and Sara, likes the movie 'The Lost Boys.' We mean, really, really likes it. On Sunday, T&S performed at the Treasure Island music festival, held on a man-made island in the San Francisco bay. You see, the island happens to be about 70 miles north of the Santa Cruz boardwalk, where 'Lost Boys' was filmed back in 1987, which Sara may or may not have known. She did, however, bring the movie up repeatedly during her set, telling the audience that the venue "reminds me of 'The Lost Boys.' You might not even know what that movie is, but it's really great." She noted that the Ferris wheel in the back, the festival lights along the waterfront and the steady ocean breeze all bore a similarity to the vampire movie's setting. "And I'm in a black trench coat," she added.Sara brought it up again (and again) between songs, as well as covering topics such as premature ejaculation and S&M. During one of these tangents, an audience member threw an object onstage, hitting the keyboardist. Making light of the situation, Tegan chimed, "They were probably aiming at Sara or me ... Should we pull an Oasis and walk off?" It was soon brought to the band's attention that the thrown object was actually intended as a gift. "It's alright, then -- we can stay," said Sara, launching into a cover of Rihanna's 'Umbrella.'
The real news, of course, is that 21 years later and long past adolescence, Sara Quin thinks 'The Lost Boys' still holds up.
