The Ting Tings <TheTingTings>
"how big are the small things?"

official band profile

It’s nothing you’ll see on Shameless, but– whisper it – Salford has an artsy underside that is shaping up to be a Northern variant on Warhol’s early Factory. Based in a former disused Mill and shrouded by council High Rises, its first breakout stars have emerged. Welcome, if you will, The Ting Tings – the Sonny and Cher of Salford Precinct for the Noughties.

The Ting Tings are Jules de Martino and Katie White. They met when she was just out of being a Wigan school-girl and bonded over a shared ambition to rock the foundations of pop music.

The debut album We Started Nothing is out now on CD and to download, and features Great DJ, Shut Up And Let Me Go and the number one single That's Not My Name.

To download your album now go to http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/M....
