I’m afraid that you all jumped around so much that the roof of the tent was close to collapse ) : how sh** is that. We wish we could have played more songs but we got frog marched off out of the tent because the entire stage was beginning to become unsafe and the PA looked like it was going to fall on the crowd. On the bright side, you danced so much you broke the tent! Well done! Bravo bravo! How cool is that! We hope we can make it back their asap to finish our performance.” Read more.

The Ting Tings Release ‘That’s Not My Name’

Katie White of checked in with fans on the British indie pop group’s MySpace blog on Sunday (May 11). White writes, “‘That’s Not My Name’ is available for download today so please get off your arses, step away from the Torrent/Blog version that you have probably been bopping to for 6 month’s and go buy a decent recording of our song! This is one of my favorite songs on the album and was written when Jules and myself were skint, feeling down and un-confident after a horrible experience in another band. Although on the face of it, it is chantey and upbeat it actually means a lot to us as it has some really frustrated lyrics/emotion in it that I still find so easy to drag back up when performing it… So yeah, I don’t want to spoil the throw away party song vibe for all you guys who want to dance but it’s a ‘fu** you!’ style song as well, one that we meant every word of when we wrote it. I’m sure you have all felt sh** about yourself at some point, so I imagine you will identify with that part of the song anyway.” Read more.

11 Flights In 14 Days For The Ting Tings

Katie of checked in with fans on the duo’s blog at MySpace on Sunday (March 30). She writes:

Ok, well we have done 11 flights in 14 days. I CAN NOT believe we are actually getting on them and only partially freaking out. I even slept on one yesterday. AMAZING!!!

Feeling a bit tired still from Texas where we played 3 gigs a day for 3 days at sxsw. One gig a night kills us – with there only being 2 of us we really have to find loads of energy and emotion to make it work. It’s a bit draining but I would be lying if I say we are not having the time of our lives.. you know, stuff you remember when you are old. Don’t want to sound smug though. We are working the hardest I have ever worked in my entire life.

We played about 7 US cities and its crazy to know people already know about us without a record released. It’s myspace and blogs that are doing it I think. Amazing how music travels. Put your song on myspace, people like it and tell there friends and we travel all the way around the world following our songs and playing them live.
