The Ting Tings

Formed in Salford in 2007, The Ting Tings have become well known in their home country. After their first two singles - the Switchflicker released double-A side That's Not My Name / Great DJ (both of which would be singles in their own right) in May and Fruit Machine in November - got the twosome signed to Columbia Records and Great DJ was the first fully released single in February 2008. The other side of the double A came out in May, and got them their first UK #1 and subsequent mainstream success. Their debut, We Started Nothing, came out the week after on the 19th and also charted at #1. First post-album single Shut Up And Let Me Go in July also performed successfully, peaking at #6, but fellow post-album singles Be The One in October and We Walk in February performed poorly in comparison, with neither of them breaking the Top 20. Their second album, Massage Kunst, is set for either a late 2010 or early 2011 release. Great DJ's video is below, with downloads after.
