The audience wants the shouty ones. When the TingTings' Katie White (that is actually her name) does her screechy war cry and Jules De Martino pounds away on his drums, everyone at the Shepherd's Bush Empire is happy. But when the band attempt a stripped back version of Traffic Light - the closest thing they have to a ballad - the crowd's enthusiasm drops with the tempo. It all ends...
... the final skit may be, and how bad, it's always a massive compliment to even be considered. The TingTings were recently awarded this honour, when Katy Brand did a skit on 'That's Not My Name' called 'We're All The Same'. I'd put the video up here so you can have a look, but I'm not sure of the copyright situation, bearing in mind it's on a rival network. Although, it's kind of ironic...
NOTE: This isn't really so much a guide which shows you how you can destroy the TingTings - assuming, of course, that you really have to and are not just doing it out of spite - as it is a guide to showing how the TingTIngs may eventually destroy each other if Katie keeps leaning into the camera and obscuring a frustrated Jules. Now, the things we need to take into account...
Meet the coolest band in Britain, being very uncool. "This is typical us," the TingTings' Jules De Martino is saying. The band, he explains, were at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, hanging with the super-celebs. As they sat in the auditorium, their manager told them that gazillion-selling rapper Lil Wayne – a man with tattooed eyelids and diamond-studded teeth – was...
The TingTings performed during the first of two sold out nights at Manchester Academy on Thursday (October 2) in Manchester, England. View pictures below and watch fan filmed highlight clips at...
Where and when? Cardiff University, Sunday. Who are they? You know, the TingTings! They're one of the biggest bands of 2008. Katie White and Jules De Martino met following the split of their former groups and decided to get together to conquer pop music.
Down in the polls across the United States, and with less than a month to go, the McCain campaign has made the decision to ramp up the negativity , and hit Barack Obama with everything they’ve got. They’re focusing a lot of attention on Obama’s casual association in Chicago with college professor Bill Ayres, who was, in his youth, a member of the Weather Underground. Most of the assertions are, of...
Who woulda thunk. Why do I keep on smelling despair and desperation? BFCE. Obama apparently had today's Charles Keating attack in the can, ready to deploy against an attempt to revive Bill Ayers, and it seems to be working. A glance at Google Trends finds "keating economics" the second-most-popular search term right now. Numbers 8, 11, 12, and 21 are terms like "keating five" and "charles...
True. But as I have often thought, and then said, in some ways we should be reassured that Saint Thomas Aquinas was right: you really can trust the authority of your senses. Under what economic theory can a nation actually spend its way to prosperity? If you base your economy on consumer spending, to the 70% level, and if the largest single sector of that same economy is "financialization," that is,...
I've been saying all along, at in casual conversation, during all those times when the Obama campaign was down in the polls and he seemed to be taking on the chin without punching back, that Sen. Obama is not a man that I would not want to get into a fight with, because, even while Sen. Obama seems to be a genuinely gracious and genial man, it also seems to me that when he intends to hurt you, the...
