    Backlash Live Present...
    TING TINGS
    + Neon Love

    Best known up to this year for their wild house parties rather than their global musical appeal, Kate White and Jules De Martino, aka the Ting Tings, have been causing a bit of a stir cross channel. Hailing from Salford in Machester (the same area as fellow Backlash Live-ees The Whip), 2007 has been quite a year for the two piece band.

    Its no exaggeration to say that what began as simply playing somgs to mates in houses across the North West of England has become one of the most in demand bands in the UK.

    "We've had people like Rick Rubin (big league American producer of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash) emailing about us. There's been bosses of major record companies who've come down to the house parties", says Jules.

    "It's been mental. Me and Katie have been literally sprinting out of the mill as soon as we've finished playing. It can get a bit too intense all these music business people trying to get a piece of you."

    Their music takes inspiration from many places, their sound a broad variety of disco / punk / indie / pop. They're currently playing three dates in California and one in New York, before they touchdown to play Backlash Live on November 24th. And we just found out Kate White only learned to play guitar in February of this year :D

    She sums it up nicely by adding: "This has been one of the happiest periods in my life. Me and Jules were driving home the other night, and we went through about four sets of traffic lights, and everyone was on green. It sums up this year so far for us."

    Support comes from the Neon Love gang dropping the indie-pop hits before & after. Also on the nite over the way in POGO Pub, special guest Bonde Do Role's DJ Gorky will be poppin it on the 1s n 2s alongside Nic James for a proper favela funk n party beats shakedown...
