I was checking out the NPR All Songs Considered last week and noticed that they had a live concert recording of the Ting Tings. Now I have had a copy of “That’s Not My Name” and “Shut Up and Let Me Go” on the MP3 player for a month or two now and really like what they do. It’s amazing how much sound two people can make.

The English electro-pop duo, featuring drummer Jules De Martino and guitarist Katie White, ran through much of their debut album material, It’s a good concert and well worth a listen.

Hype from their site…

The Ting Tings are an English electropop band, consisting of Jules De Martino (drums & vocals) & Katie White (vocals, guitar & bass drum). They formed in 2006 while based in Islington Mill, Salford.

Katie White first appeared, as a teenager, in girl group TKO – short for Total Knock Out. The band consisted of Katie and two friends. TKO supported acts like Steps and Five but never signed a record deal or released a record.

Jules De Martino started out in a teenage band called Babakoto, and released a single called “Just To Get By” in 1987. After Babakoto split up De Martino was singer in an indie rock group “Mojo Pin”. Mojo Pin released two singles, “You” in 1995 and “My Imagination” in 1996.

The Ting Tings do a live to air  on Indie 103.1 FM
