27 December 2023 - The Ting Tings - Great DJ

It's been a while since we posted The Ting Tings.  

We actually wrote that first line in 2021.  Mostly because, in 2021, it had been a while since we posted the Ting Tings.  In fact, it's now been more than ten years.  And, frankly, every post about the Ting Tings have been about songs from their debut albim, 2008's We Started Nothing.  

Which is a shame, because they're still making music, all these years later.  The duo are a talented pair.

This song, which was a UK minor hit and a US club hit, was written by the band, with Katie White writing that guitar riff you hear throughout (despite not being terribly proficient on the guitar at the time).  It's a simple, sparse song (like a lot of theirs) but also a rich banger.

Anyway, just because we aren't posting about them incessantly doesn't mean we don't still love the Ting Tings.


If you are wondering where some of the synthesized sounds are coming from when there's only two people in the band (even live!), watch Katie's feet during this live performance.
