    They are touring and I think I missed them again...

    I'm not gonna. :P

    Just too bad my ex who got me into them isn't part of my life anymore.... hopefully she's not there...

    The opening act sounded great too.

    Great show - cool to get to hear Livingroom live!

    Too bad they're going all in on the "search for a huge POP hit" because I miss seeing them with a guitar or atleast using an instrument.

    ^ I've been thinking of getting into their music, I think they're super cool. But it seems like most of the stuff I know of is very pop-y which isn't for me. Is their older stuff more rock oriented?

    It's more indie and folk oriented. I saw them at the Bridge School Benefit in 2004 and 2007, and at a headlining show in 2014. The change was remarkable.

    Interesting, thanks for the input. Yeah I've only really known them as pop stars but I'll give it a whirl anyways, never know right!

    "All You Got" from This Business of Art is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Played on Pandora earlier.

    My favorite albums of theirs are the first 4 albums: Under feet like ours, This business of Art, If it was you and So Jealous. All rocking.

    But I enjoy all their albums, even the two latest which are very "poppy". But still (very) good.

    EDIT: Just wanna add - my absolute favorite album Is If it Was You.. I think that's a good starting off point too.

    These two managed to be the most awkward act on stage that I have ever seen in my life, lol. They opened for the Killers, maybe in 2010 or something?? Anyway, they were dancing like total dorks with no energy and people sfart3d laughing awkwardly at them. Then they started babbling about So You Think You Can Dance or some shit, trying to be funny, and I never knew it was possible to hear crickets in an arena full of 15000 people, but Tegan & Sara totally proved it was possible. :lol: One of the worst openers I have ever seen. I mean I really hated them, lol. That caused me to never listen to them again, so I have no clue of they got better. Perhaps I should forgive their faux pas performance and give them another try. Perhaps they got better.

    Never judge a book by its cover.

    But in the case of Tegan and Sara... I just can't get past the name. What good can come from 'Tegan and Sara'? They'd have to rock my socks off for me to appreciate them... but they'd have to wedge a foot in my doorway before it closed on them for this to happen.

    You haven't helped their cause here, PJSoul. Not... one... freaking... bit.

    What good can come from a band that sounds like they're named after sperm?

    Just shut your piehole and listen to "If it was you"  :)

    Every band name is pretty stupid if you really think about it.  At least Tegan and Sara are their actual names.

    No kidding.   Pearl Jam is odd too.  Just turned out to be an awesome band name.

    People...

    I was having a bit of fun. Band names don't deter me.

    That being said... I haven't been drawn to Tegan and Sara. I know Neil Young has advocated for them. I know thye aren't garbage. I just haven't gone there for whatever reason.

    I did click on the link Spiritual offered, but it was 40 minutes long (the whole album). Can someone post a 'hook' tune?
