on the radar 2008: the ting tings - great dj


the ting tings - great dj [link 2] [link 3]
[when the list of 2008 buzz acts came out a few weeks back, it was like a who's who of weird names thrown at you (jing jang jong meets the foals meets alphabeat meet ebony something or the other). of course, i took a listen to the acts on these tastemakers lips and of the post pop genre, the ting tings stood out the most to me. made up of manchester based katie white and jules de martino, the duo have quickly won fans over with their uber catchy and happily danceable 80's-esque songs. my fave song of the week, turn it up and jump around kids!!]

Want to know more? Check out this nice bbc2 profile of the band when they performed at glastonbury last year.

I'm loving the "Shut Up and Let Me Go" iPod commercial that Apple has been running a lot on the Ting Tings lately. I have a feeling they are going to be one of those bands to watch in 2008!
