March 12th Source: SFGate No doubt, the Ting Tings are one of the most exciting imports of the year. The Salford duo's shouty electro-pop singles, like "Fruit Machine" and "Great DJ," are decent enough but hardly hint at their breathless live show. As singer-guitarist Katie White flailed across the stage and drummer Jules de Martino kept the rhythm behind a pair of mirrored aviator glasses, the group tore through a delirious set that included all their previously released material (there's not that much yet), plus a new song that sounded like the White Stripes covering New Order.
By the time the band knocked off with a thrilling version of "That's Not My Name," all you could see in front of the stage were arms raised in a dumbstruck mix of affirmation and adoration. If the Ting Tings can repeat the trick in Austin, expect to hear their name everywhere you turn this year.
