About Me

Tagline
how big are the small things?
Me, Myself, and I
From out of the now infamous Islington Mill art space in Salford The Ting Tings formed in 2007. Born of a desire to employ the DIY ethic from day one – Katie White & Jules De Martino escaped the industry trappings they once experienced in a previous band and went back to basics as a duo.

The first Ting Tings music to be circulated was the original version of That’s Not My Name in early summer 07. Self-released, hand artworked and strictly limited, pressings of the track found their way up and down the country and the real buzz began.

Great DJ became the first official single released through Columbia, followed by the full release of TNMN, which hit the #1 spot in the UK simultaneously with the debut album We Started Nothing.

The final single from this album will be We Walk, coming before the UK tour which will see them play bigger venues across the country including Brixton Academy - no less than a year since first single proper Great DJ was released.

    PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry.......In 1997 a girl called lauren was walking in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and n0w you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary</3 died shortly after. To be saved paste this to 5 other bands. THIS IS TRUE Now yuv started readin dis dunt stop. This is so scary. Send this to 5 ova bands in 143 Minutes. When ur done press F6 and ur crushes name will appear on the screen in big letters. This is scary cause it actually works im scared now
