It’s Official, I Love the Ting Tings
![]()
This morning while making the commute to my day job, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the up-and-coming UK indie duo The Ting Tings were visiting my boys on the Kevin & Bean morning show.
I talked previously about how The Ting Tings were growing on me and today’s radio interview sealed the deal for me. Their story of being signed and dropped from their label, starting out with another band, becoming fragmented and then performing in Islington Mill was quite intriguing.
So what was it that won me over? The pair did live studio performances of “Shut Up and Let Me Go” and “That’s Not My Name” and I was impressed with the crystalline quality of vocalist Katie voice. It was absolutely beautiful and sounded even better than on recordings.
The Ting Tings are playing the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles tonight after which they’ll continue on to Las Vegas and other US tour destinations. Visit their MySpace page for more tour details.

You know, when I heard the Ting Tings were on the big hype list for 2008, I thought I’d hate them. Unfortunately, you just can’t deny how brilliant they are. I’ve given up - I’m a total convert!

I tried to resist the hype too! But its not fair to write folks off because of the hype, especially if the hype is warranted.
