Islington Mill, Salford (2006 – present)

The Ting Tings are an English electropop band, with Dear Eskiimo’s Jules De Martino (drums & vocals) & Katie White (vocals, guitar & bass drum). They formed in 2006 while based in Islington Mill, Salford.

Katie White first appeared, as a teenager, in girl group TKO - short for Total Knock Out. The band consisted of Katie and two friends. TKO supported acts like Steps and Five but never signed a record deal or released a record.

Jules De Martino started out in a teenage band called Babakoto, and released a single called “Just To Get By” in 1987. After Babakoto split up De Martino was singer in an indie rock group “Mojo Pin”. Mojo Pin released two singles, “You” in 1995 and “My Imagination” in 1996.

The Ting Tings’ first single “That’s Not My Name” was released on local label Switchflicker, and together with their second single “Fruit Machine”, were on heavy rotation in British radio (amongst others BBC 6 Music, played regularly by many DJs including a session for Steve Lamacq), are considered indie music hits. “Fruit Machine” was a limited-edition, 500-only seven-inch single on Legendre Starkie Records, which was only available at the group’s gigs at Islington Mill in Salford, Eleckrowerkz in Islington, West Germany in Berlin and at Glasslands in Brooklyn, New York City.

Cool band. The two of them make fun and creative music. Hopefully it stays that way. I heard of possible 'guests' for their future tracks which I am not very font of. I'm not really sure whether rappers/DJ's is a good mix.
