I have seen them play a few times when I lived in Halifax. They are a Jam band, wouldn't work.
I need 2 Kingston Tickets, please help.

Tegan & Sara are opening for The Killers on Tuesday here in Toronto. I'll let you know how they do on the big stage at The Amphitheatre...
I've always enjoyed their CD, "This Business Of Art."

No doubt there a jam band, but thats mostly their first album, Birth Of Confusion. Flies In The No Fly is their new one, and it is very non-jammish(?) and just has solid songs all the way through. Also, their music is heavier on their latest album.

I've seen some east coast bands like Slocoaster and Jimmy Swift Band, and I'm pretty sure I've seen Grand Theft Bus also. This is just my opinion, but I was so bored out of my mind I had to leave. The music seemed so dull to me. Again, that's just my opinion.
