Most of my favourite bands have both male and female members:

The Smashing Pumpkins
Pixies
Slowdive
My Bloody Valentine
Belle and Sebastian
Camera Obscura
Portishead
Yo La Tengo
Cocteau Twins
Sonic Youth
X
Swans
Saint Etienne

Loads of great bands that have both male and female members: Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Arcade Fire, My Bloody Valentine, Garbage, The Distillers, Hole, The Breeders, School of Seven Bells (R.I.P. Benjamin Curtis), The Naked and Famous, The Jezabels, Portishead, The xx, CHVRCHES....too many to keep mentioning!

And there are also loads of good male/female duos: The Knife, Light Asylum, The White Stripes, Beach House, Goldfrapp, She Keeps Bees, Young Wonder, Matt & Kim, AlunaGeorge.......

But if you're looking specifically for upbeat/poppy bands that feature both male and female singers then that's a lot more difficult. The Naked and Famous is the closest I can think of, though they're not very poppy.

Not many that I can think of that haven't already been mentioned by other posters, but a couple of my own favorites would include the following - Lush would be reasonably poppy I suppose, and they did once cover an Abba song (oh yeah! that's another M/F mix for you!)

Something A LOT more obscure would be these guys from San Francisco called Pirx The Pilot. The singer ran a record lable and released some pretty "out there" punk stuff. He also regularly bemoans the lack of women in rock music. Unlike Lush however, they have dual lead vocals and the male and female seem to play well off each other.

Another extremely underrated band in my opinion was Prolapse from Scotland. I also think the M/F mixed vocals sounds well. In a lot of their songs it almost feels as they are singing two completely different songs. This is one of their more manic numbers, but a lot of others are much softer on the ear.

Despite a reputation of being a collective of "non-musicians" I think a lot of the music Crass made was weird and wonderful and experimental and maybe a bit ahead of its time. For 1979 I think this song sounds great.

This is my favorite song by Patti Smith, who in general is also one of my favorite artists. You might think this counts as a solo performer but the early albums all came out under the moniker of "the Patti Smith Group" so it's worth a mention. The guitar player Lenny Kaye would have been way more famous than she was when they started anyway.
