Tegan & Sara Are Indie Rock's Laurel & Hardy
When it comes to cute, Canadian, creatively coiffed, twindie rockers, Tegan and Sara Quin are among the best. Did you know they're witty? The duo's sisterly bickering is a big hit on YouTube. After a triumphant performance at Coachella, the girls talked to AP about their comedy stylings. "Sometimes I like it more than music," said Tegan. "It calms the audience down. I think it makes them feel like we're real people, not like a rock show or watching television. We're really, actually there." Tegan & Sara record all their shows and according to the article, they're weighing making a mixtape of their best onstage jokes. Hope they do prank calls too ("Is your refrigerator running, Mr. Walla?") Here's video of the witty, mainstage banter on display Friday. (Sarah: "Wear sunscreen under your clothes..." / Tegan: "...if you shop at H&M. Their stuff's really cheap and thin.")
In between the jokes, there is some fine, emotional pop to enjoy. Watch the entire Coachella performance here.

If they weren't so cute, that would have been a disaster... I am not so sure the crowd would have been so patient for say, Jack Johnson, had that happened to him.
Score = 0
Tegan and Sara are super hilarious live. A lot of their show is like a comedy act but the videos you posted aren't their funniest. Check out this blog for more: http://teganandsarabanter.blogspot.com/

These chicks do a lot of squawking. Reminds me a little of the the crazy babysitter twins from Grindhouse. Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak. yak...

Too much chatter, not enough action.

Is it just me or do ALL OTHER BANDS have funnier and shorter on-stage dialogue?
Score = -9

I like everything about tegan and sara except their boring music.
Score = -10
Yeah, this is not the best example of their stories. but i think its going a little far to say that ALL OTHER BANDS are funnier. plus tegan and sara are way more than just dialog.
Score = 0
terrible everything about this band. a true injustice to pop music that they have the popularity that they do. terrible style & terrible music.
also i know for a fact that they are not personally very good people.
but that's an aside. their band and all that comes with it is crime enough.
Score = -6
