*daring*to*be*different* Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hey! I also love the Ting Tings. Great DJ is a good song- but check out Fruit Machine and That's Not My Name- which are even better. I really, really want to see them play live now..

Mici Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Their song "That's not my name" is too addictive, i can't stop humming it LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I wish it was the 19th already. I'm dying waiting for them to release 'We Started Nothing' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findingmywords Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I looove the ting tings! It's great to dance to... I was just downloading some of their stuff Check out "Shut Up and Let Me Go" It's really great. And "That's Not My Name" There's also a Calvin Harris remix of "Great DJ" It's awesome.

rilo8913 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I downloaded that free itunes song as well, and I think it's really catchy! I listened to some other songs of theirs and they're great too. I'm more than a bit upset, however, that they're playing somewhere awesome, but I won't be there at that time so I can't go. AND they apparently played at SXSW in March but I didn't know about them then. I detect a pattern here. (The same thing happened to me with Mika last year. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiza Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Their song "That's not my name" is too addictive, i can't stop humming it LOL. "that's not my name" is my favourite song of the ting tings. "we stared nothing" is a really good album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 They're coming to Toronto at the Mod Club (the venue where I saw Mika for the very first time ). I'm really considering going. Maybe he'll be there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he'll be there too. Oh you should definitely go, they are AWESOME! I really want to see them live, I was hoping they would be supporting Mika in Amsterdam, but hopefully when he does the UK again he'll have them supporting him then. In the meantime I'll have to keep my eyes open for any shows they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I'll have to keep my eyes open for any shows they're doing. It's just that I've been to so many concerts already this year. Which is not a bad thing, but my $$ running out. Christine tempted me into watching Adele in a few weeks. I've just watched Yelle, Creature, The Midway State, and The Cure in the last month!

Blue Sky Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 LUCKY YOU SUZY!! I cannot afford time or money to go to concerts much in Tokyo. Tickets here are about 4 times as costly as anywhere else!! And anyway, I am saving for the Mika Road trip of Japan!! And maybe Oz:mf_rosetinted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ting Tings are only $13. Midway State was free. Creature cost under $20 (thanks zoots) and Yelle was $20 (but we were on the guest list, so it was free too).

Midway State was free. Creature cost under $20 (thanks zoots) and Yelle was $20 (but we were on the guest list, so it was free too). Let me revise that! Mika in a little club cost me 12,000 yen (over $120) because I had to pay half of that to be a member...only members could buy the tickets for the gig, and Elton John cost me the same in a stadium, regular ticket price, no membership necessary. A regular ticket (like for upcoming Avril) usually goes for about $60 - $80. I cannot believe you can see ANYthing for $13!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegPL Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 ok...so few days ago Joana introduced me to The Ting Tings song- "That's not my name" and I think it is awesome!! especially part "They call me 'quiet girl' But i'm a riot Mary, Jo, Liza Always the same " I find it very funny LOL but this is the only their song I like... sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 A regular ticket (like for upcoming Avril) usually goes for about $60 - $80. I cannot believe you can see ANYthing for $13!! Tickets for big concerts like Avril are outrageous here too. The Police were $225 plus service charges. I always prefer small shows. I don't mind laying out the cash (I don't spend money on anything else really, I don't even have cable TV), but the cheap shows are always better!! Midway State was more entertaining than the Cure just because of the venue. I've seen Lily Allen, Paolo Nutini, Patrick Wolf, Mika, Yelle, Kate Nash and soon Adele for $20 or less. All of these gigs were far, far better than any of the expensive concerts I've been to which are between $80-$250. The only shows over $20 that I've really enjoyed were Mika at the Kool Haus and Joss Stone, both in the $50 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
