On The Teenagers @ Studio Just for Laughs

The Teenagers invaded Studio Just for Laughs the eve of January 29, 2008 and as expected were awesome. With everyone singing about cunts and geographically defined fucks; everybody in the audience was a Teenager tuesday night.

In a recent interview with the Montreal Mirror, Dorian Dumont of the Teenagers said straight up that while they aren't "totally unserious" they "don't take it too seriously, you know". Oh yes Dorian, i know.

Suspend your bullshit meter for the moment and indulge me in this theory:

After seeing The Teenagers live, i think the live show did come off as just that - totally unserious - BUT that ended up being the point.

That kind of unrefined half-assery is what makes The Teenagers successful. Their sexed up rhetoric-of-the-fuck-up which has become a mainstay throughout all their songs keeps them instantly relatable and polishes that aura of humbled quasi-fame that they get their cool from. Let's hope the Teenagers stay cool longer than the most people did in high school.

more pictures and commentary to come soon.
